For nine days during the 2026 Little League Baseball World Series, the Grand Ballroom at the Holiday Inn in Williamsport became one of the busiest gathering places in the pin trading community.
From August 21 through August 30, Infiniti Pins & Awards once again hosted its annual Little League World Series Pin Trading Hospitality Room, welcoming collectors, Little League families, umpires, broadcasters and fans each evening from 4 p.m. until midnight.
And calling it a “hospitality room” almost understates what happens there.
Infiniti Pins has been hosting its Williamsport hospitality room for approximately 11 or 12 years, although the team’s connection to the Little League World Series and pin trading goes back even further.
At this point, people know where to go.
Some evenings, guests began lining up as early as 3 p.m., an hour before the doors officially opened. Once things got underway, the ballroom regularly filled with hundreds of people trading pins, catching up with old friends and meeting other collectors from around the country.
For many attendees, it has become part of the World Series experience itself.
People arrive with books and binders filled with pins, find a table and spend the evening walking the room, comparing collections and negotiating trades. Longtime collectors reconnect with people they may only see once a year, while newcomers sometimes walk in without even knowing what pin trading is.
Those first-time visitors quickly get an introduction.
While trading is at the center of the event, Infiniti Pins has continued to build activities around it that give families a reason to spend the evening together.
Each night included free giveaways, raffles and bingo, including separate free drawings for kids and adults to win boards filled with pins.
Additional raffle boards featured sought-after and harder-to-find pins, while bingo continued to be one of the room’s most popular traditions. Games typically ran for roughly two hours in the evening and consistently drew an enthusiastic crowd.
A new addition this year also made it easier for everyone to keep up with the action happening across town.
The Holiday Inn already had a large projector and screen set up in the ballroom, giving Infiniti Pins the opportunity to show Little League World Series games on a much larger screen than in previous years.
It quickly became another gathering point in the room, allowing visitors to watch the games without stepping away from the trading.
One of the busiest nights came when weather disrupted the evening games.
With fewer people heading to the ballparks, the hospitality room became the place to be.
Collectors, Little League participants, umpires and members of the ESPN broadcast crew all found their way to the Holiday Inn, filling the ballroom while trading continued throughout the night.
It was a perfect example of what the room has become over the years: not simply a place to exchange pins, but a central gathering spot for the Little League community.
The hospitality room also welcomed some recognizable baseball personalities throughout the week.
Former Major League Baseball All-Star and current broadcaster Todd Frazier stopped by the room to visit and trade pins. Frazier has become a friend of the Infiniti Pins team over the years and was among several familiar faces who made their way through the ballroom during the World Series.
The room also saw visits from broadcasters and other members of the greater Little League community throughout the event.
Every Little League World Series seems to produce a few pins that quickly become the ones everyone is hunting for.
In 2026, two stood out in particular.
Little League’s Opening Day ticket pin became one of the most talked-about trades of the week, while Easton Ghost pins were another hot commodity among collectors.
Finding the right pin, however, is only part of what makes the week memorable.
The real attraction is the community surrounding it.
After nine straight days and nights in Williamsport, the biggest takeaway was a simple one: it was great seeing everyone again.
For Infiniti Pins, these events have always been about more than the products themselves. They’re about the friendships, traditions and shared experiences that have developed around pin trading over the years.
And the tradition will continue.
Infiniti Pins plans to return to Williamsport for the Winter Pin Trading Classic in February, once again hosted at the Holiday Inn. Exact dates will be announced once plans are finalized.
Then, before long, it will be time to start counting down to another Little League World Series.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, traded a pin, played bingo, entered a raffle or simply spent some time hanging out with us. We hope you had as much fun as we did, and we’ll see you again soon.
