Garrett Mitchell’s thoughtful tribute to legendary ESPN broadcaster highlights nostalgic Little League Classic

The Milwaukee Brewers lost to the Atlanta Braves 4-2 at the Little League Classic in Williamsport, but the game was memorable for reasons beyond the final score. During an in-game interview in the second inning, Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell paid tribute to ESPN broadcaster Karl Ravech, who was recently let go from the network and was calling his final MLB game. Mitchell told Ravech, "I know this is your last broadcast. I appreciate everything you've done for this game. I've been listening to you for a long time, and it's a pleasure to share this last one with you." Ravech had worked for ESPN since 1993 and covered Baseball Tonight, SportsCenter, the Little League World Series, the Home Run Derby, and postseason games.
