Never heard of big league world series...

Little league has the world series, the intermediate world series, juniors baseball world series and senior baseball world series.

Yes, I was on team from east, we won the World Series in 1979, we were 16-18 year olds, basically same format as little league. We played at Williamsport, but the actual championship series was played at little yankee stadium in Ft Lauderdale fl. I was drafted following year and lost touch with the big league World Series. I know it folded, don’t know what year that happened and was wondering if the American legion kind of took over?

That’s it!

Someone finally put it online, for years there was nothing about the Big league World Series. Best baseball experience one could have. I thought it was 16-18, but it says 15-18. Great team , only 1 made it all to show from that team . John Costello

Did you even read the link?
Taiwan beat host? Is that what you are referring too? I did not read link thoroughly, but I do see something odd. We were not aware of this, havin too much fun off the field after wins.. we didn’t lose a game from Suffolk county to Gil Hodges stadium then to Williamsport, and finally to ft lauderdale. We were on such a high we had no clue what else was going on.
