MLB Players Embrace Little League Classic
A Unique Experience
The MLB Little League Classic is a unique event that brings together Major League Baseball players and Little Leaguers in a fun and competitive environment.
The event was first held in 2017 and has quickly become a popular tradition.
Counter to the MLB Experience
The Little League Classic is different from the regular MLB experience in many ways.
For one, the games are played on a smaller field with shorter distances between the bases.
Additionally, the players wear special uniforms that resemble the uniforms worn by Little Leaguers.
Players Embrace the Experience
Despite the differences, MLB players have embraced the Little League Classic.
They enjoy the opportunity to connect with the Little Leaguers and to relive their own childhood memories of playing baseball.
Many players have said that the Little League Classic is one of their favorite events of the year.
Inaugural Event
The inaugural MLB Little League Classic was held in 2017 between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Pirates won the game 6-3.
The event was a success and has been held every year since then.
Players Arrive Early
While most MLB players arrive in Williamsport on the day of the game, some choose to arrive early to experience the Little League World Series.
They often watch the games and interact with the Little Leaguers.
This gives them a chance to see firsthand the excitement and passion of the Little Leaguers.
Commissioner Attends
The MLB Commissioner has attended every Little League Classic since its inception.
He often arrives early on Sunday morning to watch the Major Leaguers cheer on the Little Leaguers at Howard J. Lamade Stadium.
The Commissioner's presence shows the importance that MLB places on the Little League Classic.
