Default Most awesome little league game ever!

The Improv Everywhere guys hit a kids' baseball game and show up with fans, a jumbotron, hot dog vendors, shirtless fans, and everything a big league game has.

Totally full of win.

That is pure Awesome. What a thrill that must have been for the kids on the field and in the stands.

Really great thing to do. Whereas some of their stunts (i.e. riding the subway with no pants) just kind of befuddles people, having the Goodyear Blimp show up for a little league game is something special I'm sure all the kids will talk about for years.

IIRC, they did something similar a few years ago, but for a rock band instead of a little league team. They found some no-name band playing at a random dive bar, and packed the place to capacity with screaming "fans".

The best part of IE is how they manage not to break character. I could never even hold a straight face if I was part of something like this.

Wow, they did an awesome job with that little league game. The Goodyear blimp and an actual NBC announcer.

Very professional.

great work, what an opportunity, that blimp is so cool, im very jealous.

the band one is sweet too, definitely pretty funny for a band that (imo) doesn't sound very good
