Where Little League Baseball Began
Williamsport is the birthplace of Little League Baseball. Carl E. Stotz came up with the idea in 1938. The next year, three teams played 24 games. Stotz set the field distances for young players at the Original Little League Field on West Fourth Street. The first 12 Little League World Series were played there, from 1947 to 1958. In those years, the league grew from 60 teams to thousands in many nations. That's all told on the state marker for Carl E. Stotz. The old field sits on West Fourth Street, close to Bowman Field.
Bowman Field was built in 1926. It's long been noted as Pennsylvania's oldest working minor league ballpark, and the second oldest in the nation. The first pro game there was played on April 27, 1926. The Williamsport Grays played the Harrisburg Giants, a Negro league team. The park was first called Memorial Field. In 1929 it was renamed for J. Walton Bowman.
The Lumber Years on West Fourth Street
Long before Little League, Williamsport was known for lumber. Before 1900, it was called the lumber capital of the world. Each spring, logs floated down the West Branch into the Susquehanna Boom, a six-mile line of piers that caught and held them. Peter Herdic owned lumber mills and was president of the boom. He put up many buildings on Millionaire's Row. His 1854 home, the Peter Herdic House, is at 407 West Fourth Street. The 1889 flood badly damaged the boom, and it slowly faded after that.
