Re: The MLB Thread
kudos to MLB on the little league classic in williamsport tonight.
for anyone who didn't watch, the pirates and cardinals played a real game in williamsport at an A ball stadium with 2,300 seats. both teams spent the afternoon at the LLWS hanging out with the kids and watching the games. all 16 LLWS teams then got to go to the MLB game and were all sitting in the first 10 rows around home plate and dugouts. the MLB teams were wearing their players weekend jerseys a week early (thats going to be another success next weekend), and throughout the game the scoreboard showed the players old LL photos and their answers to the typical questions the little league players are asked, like favorite food and superhero. in the spirit of the LLWS, the cards and buccos shook hands after the game at home plate.
kids and players all seemed to love it. fully expecting this to be a new tradition, as it should, because it was a really cool setting to have a game. probably have the phillies as part of it next year.
