The inception of Little League Baseball in 1939 for the 9 to 12 year old group has been seen as a milestone in youth sports throughout the world, permitting for the first time organized play of the "national pastime" for the younger age sect.
Some 71 summers ago, concerned adults in Williamsport organized baseball play on a scaled down field for local children. They could not conceive what was being created--a youth movement now recognized as the largest sports program in thw world.
Little League experienced phenomenal growth during the early years, and in 1961 recognized the need to provide a similar program for its own large number of graduates. In this year Senior League was born, played upon a full-sized diamond to accomodate the maturity of the players and provide conformity with convential baseball.
During the same year an experimental "World" series for Senior League was conducted at Bowman
Field in Williamsport, home of a professional farm club for many years. Participating teams for this tournament were from the United States only, as was the 1962 Series again held in Williamsport. The series became truly international at the Bethlehem, Pennsylvania site in 1963, with an entry from Monterrey, Mexico. Mexico won the series The Senior World Series has been held in various locations and currently held in Bangor, Maine.
