San Antonio Supports McAllister Park Little League Team Sunday Sendoff & Fundraiser Planned As the McAllister Park Little League Texas West Champions prepare to head to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA next week, the San Antonio community is rallying to support its history-making team. On Sunday, August 16, at 6 p.m. the community is invited to a pep rally at the team’s home field at McAllister Park, 13102 Jones Maltsberger Rd. Members of the team, the coaches, and their families will be on hand to celebrate their unprecedented season and receive well wishes from their enthusiastic fans. The McAllister Park 12-year-olds are the first San Antonio to qualify for the prestigious World Series and are one of eight American teams and eight international teams to compete. The pep rally will also provide an opportunity to donate to a fund that will help defray the boys’ families’ expenses associated with the trip to Williamsport. Anyone who wishes to make a tax-deductible donation may do so at the rally on Sunday or by mailing a check to McAllister Park Little League (MLLP) P.O. Box 160547, San Antonio, TX 78280-2747.
