Caption: Birthplace of Little League Mural
Additional Description: (located a few steps west of marker on south side of Transportation Center parking garage)The Artist: Lena Yeagle is a lifelong resident of Lycoming County. She grew up in Barbours and now lives in Williamsport. A musician and skater as well as a visual artist, Yeagle has performed on vocals, cello, and violin with local bands Black Marble and Ten Cent Days and plays as "Fay-tal Attacktion" with the Susquehanna Valley Derby Vixens.

The Mural: With the original Little League Field in the background, a victorious Little League team celebrates. The team members are a composite of real players, because, as Yeagle said, "I wanted to create an image that embodied Little League and the fact that the whole world is part of it." She was influenced by early 20th-century illustrator Norman Rockwell as well as historic sepia photographs.
