These “Jersey Boys” are forging their own path.

Toms River East Little League became a perennial youth baseball powerhouse in the late 1990s when they sent three teams to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

None was more famous than the 1998 team famously dubbed the “Beast of the East” that won the whole thing and catapulted hometown hero, and future Met and Yankee, Todd Frazier into Little League World Series lore.

But now the squad of 12-year-old All-Stars from the middle-class shore town is bringing their own unique brand of Garden State bravado to Williamsport, where they will take on Hastings, Neb., on Thursday at 5 p.m.

“The team in ’98 was great, but we have our own identity,” Toms River East manager Paul Mika told The Post. “We want to create our own dreams and destiny.”

That means adopting the name “Jersey Boys” which has been splashed across T-shirts worn by the friends and family in the stands at the Mid-Atlantic regional tournament in Bristol, Conn., where they placed second behind the Pennsylvania squad.

“To me, the nickname is an attitude. It’s our swag. It’s who we are. We are from the Jersey Shore and we have toughness, both mental toughness and physical toughness.”

Charlie Frazier Jr., whose son Carson Frazier provided the sixth-inning heroics against the Delaware squad last weekend to punch the team’s ticket to Williamsport, agreed.

“I think it’s catching,” he told The Post of the new moniker. He just ordered over a dozen “Jersey Boys” shirts for the Frazier family, which is witnessing its second-generation stab at a Little League title with slugger Carson playing a starring role in the run. “We are putting it on all of our shirts. Some of the announcers from ESPN have called them that. And it’s fitting for these kids. We are old school and taught to have that swag but to play the game the right way.”

Spectators at home can expect to see the shirts populating the Toms River’s cheering section in Williamsport. Al Goldberg, owner of Pacer Sports, which makes the team’s gear and gives a portion of the sales back to the organization, has sold a few thousands of dollars in Jersey Boys gear in the past few days alone.

The team, which normally wears light blue and white uniforms, also underwent a sartorial switch. Because international teams aren’t playing due to COVID-19 restrictions, the second-place team from each region was given the uniforms reserved for would-be foreign competitors.

Toms River East has been given Mexico’s kit that has the same red, white and green colors as the Italian flag — a sign some parents have seen as auspicious given that nearly the whole roster, save for a few players, has an Italian surname.

“We have 10 or 11 guys with Italian last names. It’s something we always joke about. These colors are perfect for us,” Charlie Jr. said.

Aesthetics aside, Mika has called their pre-tournament time at the facility “magical.”

“It’s been a crazy experience for these boys so far. They got new uniforms, new bats and cleats. We’ve had interview sessions with ESPN. They are treating these boys like they are real Major League Baseball players,” said Mika, who celebrated his birthday Monday with his team and fellow coaches.

“I always said I wouldn’t go to Williamsport unless I was coaching or my son was in it. I have both. For me, this is better than Disney,” added Mika, whose son Max provided some clutch RBIs in the regional tournament.

The team will also welcome back pitcher and outfielder Tommy Intintola, who didn’t play in Bristol because of a possible COVID-19 exposure.

Like in Bristol, players will be still be in a bubble and unable to have physical contact with their families or their competitors (outside of the diamond), but they are spending their downtime playing Wiffle ball and raiding the generous snack supply, according to Mika.

Spectators will not be allowed on the premises. But each team was given 250 tickets for friends and family, and the passes will allow them access to all games and most of the facility — including the iconic hill, just beyond the outfield, where young fans have traditionally slid down on cardboard.

The Frazier crew will be there to cheer on slugger Carson, including his Uncle Todd, who has just returned from Tokyo where he represented Team USA, winning a silver medal, and his uncle Jeff, who made it to Williamsport with Toms River East in 1995.

“Little League is still making it a cool experience for the families. We can still slide down the hill, so we are pretty fired up about that. We’ll be taking some cardboard for sure,” Charlie Jr. said.

Meanwhile, back in Toms River — which is just under a four-hour drive away, relatively close compared to other regional winners — supporters from this baseball town were disappointed to know they won’t be allowed to cheer on the team in person. Businesses and families are planning watch parties and putting up signs of support all over town.

Wayne Cimorelli, whose son Cailen is on the team, owns Spicy’s Catina, a popular bar and restaurant on the Seaside Heights boardwalk. Though he’ll be in Williamsport cheering on his son, he expects the spot to be packed with proud locals.

“When they beat Delaware to get to Williamsport, I wasn’t there but my bartenders called me to tell me it was the loudest cheer they’ve ever heard,” Cimorelli told The Post. “The people were so into it and the come-from-behind win, it’s pretty cool.”

Charlie Jr. said his phone lit up with similar news.

“A lot of people texted me videos of the roar on the boardwalk when they won. It was so insane,” he said. “The support from Toms River has been unbelievable.”

If the team defeats Nebraska, they will advance in the winner’s bracket and play on Sunday. If they lose, they’ll play on Saturday.

But Mika has faith in his Jersey Boys.

“We are at full strength now,” he said. “I like our chances. And my message to the boys is finish what we started.”
