Little League World Series (Mid-Atlantic Region)
The Mid-Atlantic Region's participation in the Little League World Series dates back to 1957, when it was known as the East Region. However, when the LLWS doubled in size from 8 to 16 teams in 2001, with the number of US teams expanding from 4 to 8, the East Region was split into the New England and Mid-Atlantic Regions.
The Mid-Atlantic Region consists of Washington, D.C. and five Mid-Atlantic states:
- Delaware
- Maryland
- New Jersey
- New York
- Pennsylvania
Two other states, Virginia and West Virginia, are included in some definitions of the Mid-Atlantic region, but for purposes of the Little League World Series are included in the Southeast region.

“Stereotypes fall in the face of humanity. You toodle along, thinking that all gay men wear leather after dark and should never, ever be permitted around a Little League field. And then one day your best friend from college, the one your kids adore, comes out to you.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“The world will little note nor long remember what we say here.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“A sophistical rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity, and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
