I’m sure it didn’t hurt that Javy Baez was there, in Williamsport, as the Little League festivities were rolling, but you can’t deny that Baez’s particular joie de baseball would be particularly magnetic for young players (and, ok, well, everybody else, too). He’s also quite good at playing, so that also figures to help.
