Just saw this on ABC, I thought it was interesting so I figured I would share.

Last night, the LLWS set a record for 41,848+ people (seriously...). Considering the stadium can only hold 9,000 (in the stands), that's pretty good (They fit the rest of the people on the grass beyond the outfield wall)

Compare that attendance to 15 MLB games... 12 had LESS than 41,848. Only 3 games had more than 41,848 in attendance (all last night).

I only know the Yankees at Twins game beat that total (I can't find attendance totals for games).

Red Sox possibly?

Nope. Only 21,262 showed up to Kauffman last night. See bottom of page via link.

Ahh. Cleveland and Detroit was the other one.

The attendance record broke the previous record of 40,000 which was set in 1989, and 1990 in the Championship games. Currently, the LLWS is still in Pool Play which makes the attendance record even more interesting IMO.

It was a team from Pennsylvania playing last night, which was a factor in the numbers.
