The MLB Little League Classic is an exciting baseball crossover event each summer. Here’s a look at the event’s origin, along with the participants for 2023.
The Little League Classic is a matchup between two MLB teams at the site of the Little League World Series.
The day begins with action across the Little League World Series, where players from the two MLB teams get to spend the morning and early afternoon watching action at Lamade Stadium and Volunteer Stadium. The roles then reverse at night, as the Little Leaguers and their families fill the stands to watch two big league clubs square off.
The game itself counts as a regular season MLB contest with one team being “home” and the other being “away.” Following the matchup, the pros incorporate Little League sportsmanship by shaking hands at home plate.The Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals were the first two MLB teams to take part in the event when it was first held in 2017.and Atlanta Braves competed in the Fort Bragg Game, the first ever U.S. professional sporting event held on an active military base.
