“I’ve always been such a fan of the game of baseball, and it really starts for so many families, including mine, with Little League,” said Lopez. “I’m excited to take part in this celebration of family photos and especially the printed images that we all cherish, and showcase the excitement and passion of the game.”

By submitting photos based on a monthly theme in May, June and July, fans will have the chance to win one of three trips to join Lopez in South Williamsport, PA and see their photos on display in the World of Little League Museum in the Richard “Hank” Bauer, Jr. Little League Photography Exhibit in the World Series Gallery presented by Easton Foundations.
