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!

Dell Diamond Ball Park Family Activities
Minor league sports are a great way for a family to spend some Quality Time together. Daddy Brad and his family travel to the Dell Diamond, the minor league baseball home of the Round Rock Express. There are all sorts of great family activities at ballparks. Kids will love things like playing on the rock climbing wall or bungee jumping. Parents will love the nostalgia and memories of going to a ball park during their childhood. And everyone will love the hot dogs!
