Just an FYI, Tickets are selling pretty well. We are sold out of the box seats, and are now sitting people in the 200 level. If you aren't aware of what's taking place this upcoming weekend, here is some info!

Hope to see everyone out at Joker Marchant Stadium for the All-Star Game

Its too bad that Lakeland's best hitter won't be there.

Well I guess if he would have produced when the season first started he'd be there, but there apparentlyare more productive 1st basemen in the FSL then him.

I don't really care about the all star games. It is just funny who got in from Lakeland when he didn't.

But he did produce to start the season. And at the time of the team announcement he was top 10 and 15 in the entire FSL in the important offensive categories. I believe he was 3rd among firstbaseman in every category and neither one of the firstbasemen ahead of him were in his division.

Pretty big oversight probably due to the FSL just looking at batting average even though that tells you little about a hitter.
