The Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals acted like kids again at the Major League Baseball Little League Classic.
Joey Meneses gave kids from his native Mexico Nationals hats. Phillies catcher Garrett Stubbs let Little Leaguers autograph the white 21 on the back of his red jersey. Canadian Rob Thomson walked into the stands and gave a managerial pep talk to the kids from Canada. Phillies shortstop Edmundo Sosa shoved his bat through the netting to one boy.
“Just the energy that they get from the kids, I think it takes them back to their past when they were that age,” Thomson said. “I’m sure some of them were like me, when they had a game that night, you wake up and put your rubber spikes on. Maybe you put your uniform on extra early. That’s what being a kid is all about.”Phillies Bryson Stott and Weston Wilson were ready -- with lumber painted like a No. 2 pencil.
