Little Leaguer's Bat Flip Inspires Limited Edition Memorabilia

Marco Rocco, a 12-year-old Little Leaguer from Haddonfield, New Jersey, gained national attention after being ejected and suspended for flipping his bat during a home run celebration in a sectional tournament. His father successfully challenged the suspension in court, securing a temporary restraining order that allowed Marco to participate in the state tournament. This bat-flip moment has been immortalized as a limited-edition pin, created in collaboration with the Rocco family and former major leaguers Jeff and Todd Frazier, to be traded at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Only 75 pins were produced to honor the 75th year of Haddonfield Little League, and the pin depicts Marco's bat flip with inscriptions marking the event and his hometown. The pin is not for sale and is expected to become a significant piece of Little League memorabilia, highlighting one of the biggest stories in the sport since Mo'ne Davis. Meanwhile, teams such as Braintree American Little League continue their preparations for the series at the Little League World Series Complex.
