The 2009 Frontier League All-Star Game will again be a two-day event...The Rockford RiverHawks will serve as the host at Road Ranger Stadium in Loves Park, Illinois...The RiverHawks today announced their plans for the two-day event...
July 14 will feature the Homerun Derby at 8:30pm CST and will also have a Legends game between legends of the Cubs and White Sox scheduled for a 6pm start...Already signed up to captain the team of legends from my favorite squad is Bob Dernier while Steve Trout, who also played for the Cubs, will captain that bunch from the South Side...The rest of the Legends roster will be announced in the months leading up to the classic...
Wayne Messmer, the public address announcer for the Cubs, will sing the national anthem before the All-Star Game...He is amazing!
Among the usual bells and whistles was the announcement that the game will again be broadcast on television...Comcast Sportsnet in Chicago will provide live coverage of the event...
Rockford is only about a five-hour drive from Traverse City so make your summer vacation plans now to be part of the fun...I know its written down on my calendar and I am looking forward to taking part in the fun...
And as Rob Bennett conveniently pointed out on my facebook page...only 129 days until the 2009 home opener!!!
