The LNP Tournament decides the championship of Lancaster County midget baseball in three age groups from 11 to 17. Founded in 1946 by New Era sports editor George W. Kirchner as the New Era Tournament, it has built summer memories for tens of thousands of ballplayers, including several Major Leaguers, and becomes a season’s goal for hundreds more every spring.
