The Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees descended on Williamsport on Sunday for the MLB Classic, which is one of the most heartwarming and genuinely good days of the sporting year. Each team paid a visit to the Little League World Series ballfields to check out a game and give a bunch of kids the thrill of their young lives. Then the tweens returned the favor, getting all hopped up on sugar and dropping by to see the Major Leaguers play this kids' sport. Just awesome, wholesome stuff all-around, capped by a stunning Detroit comeback that served as their biggest win in a long, long time.
As part of ESPN's presentation the big leaguers were asked a bunch of questions with those answers running throughout the day. Their answers were pretty standard—Aaron Judge liked Michael Jordan growing up and Zack McKinistry's favorite band is Creed—but Tigers reliever Beau Brieske managed to sneak in one of the stranger responses you'll ever see in one of these ITMs by expressing his desire to meet Abraham Lincoln to "pick his brain."
