While the allure of watching international baseball is enough for most to come out to the ballgame, organizers have also provided a wide array of cultural entertainment in between games at the 2010 World Junior Baseball Championships in Thunder Bay at Port Arthur Stadium. Live music, dancing, artisans, food vendors and of course face painting, are some of the attractions available on the grounds ouside the stadium. For the young baseball fan, Major League Baseball International has provided several activities for participants to hone their skills. Two batting cages, a timed, simulated run from 3rd to home, as well as a pitching speed test are some of apparatuses available.
