Little League teams get Major League surprise

When the snow is nearly gone (only the piles left from clearing parking lots remain) which means one thing: baseball season!
Two California Little League teams got the surprise of their lives when Improv Everywhere (the same group that became frozen statues in Grand Central Station) turned an ordinary scheduled game into a major league event complete with JumboTron, sports announcers, screaming fans, real mascots and even the Goodyear blimp.
The confusion, disbelief, and then excitement in the kids and parents is amazing to see.
Thanks for the tip, Caitlin!

How cool was that for them? The parents even got into it after the confusion wore off. That was neat. Thanks for sharing.

Haha I even started to tear up (I cry over everything happy or sad post-pregnancy, I hope it goes away). It's great to see things like this. I bet those kids felt like a million bucks!!

That is great. I bet that will be their best game ever. I bet they will rememeber that for the rest of their lives too.
I still get teary eyed over everything too ( 4.5 yrs later)

I was teary too and my "baby" is four. But little league is part of our family life and this was cool. I hope they weren't disappointed to find out that it wasn't really on tv.

It was posted on You Tube two days ago and it's already had over 100,000 views. I don't think they'll be disappointed about not being on TV, the internet's just as good these days!

I love this group, they always manage to do things that are a little shocking and yet hurt no one. This takes it one step better :) What a great day for everyone involved.
