Subway and Little League Baseball





SUBWAY® restaurants, the world’s largest restaurant chain is doing a wonderful thing! For the third year in a row this great sandwich loving company has sponsored what they call The SUBWAY® Baseball DeSIGNS Tour. What kind of tour is that....you might be thinking. 


The SUBWAY® Baseball DeSIGNS Tour includes more than 40 baseballs designed by young artists and signed by celebrities and athletes including: musician Katy Perry, actor Zac Efron, rock band Maroon 5, gold medal-winning swimmer Michael Phelps, pro football’s Drew Brees,  and baseball star Ryan Howard. For a complete list of celebrities click  here.

The tour will visit four U.S. cities concluding with a final stop at the Little League® Baseball World Series (LLBWS) from Aug. 19-28, where the baseballs will then be auctioned off to the general public with all proceeds benefiting the Little League® Baseball Urban Initiative program which helps fund start-ups, developments, equipment, clinics and field maintenance for inner-city youth leagues and teams.

Sounds pretty great, doesn't it! A baseball signed by Zac Efron? He's pretty cute, you know. If you are interested in bidding on any of these fun baseballs you can do so on Ebay

You can learn more about the baseballs on Facebook
