ESPN has tapped Pixar and Marvel characters in sundry bids to create new ways for viewers to watch their favorite games. Now the sports-media giant will investigate the use of a different kind of character.

While the ninth annual MLB Little League Classic airs August 23 on ESPN, ESPN2 will feature an “alumni alt-cast” of the event featuring a commentary team with personal connections to Little League Baseball. Mike Monaco will handle play-by-play alongside analysts Todd Frazier and Devon Travis, with the trio calling the game on-site in Williamsport, Pa.
