Miami-Dade High School Baseball Senior All-Star Game 2012

         

The first annual Miami-Dade Senior All-Star Game will be held on Friday, June 1st, at 7pm at Florida International University. Last year, High School Baseball Network (HSBN) introduced its inaugural All-Star game in Broward and it drew hundreds of fans and dozens of scouts (view the promo video from Broward's game last year to the right). This year, HSBN is bringing that same excitement to Miami-Dade. The game will be a battle between the 2A-6A Senior All-Stars and the 8A Senior All-Stars.

The night will be a celebration of our first season together. There will be raffles to win, vendors to visit, great food from the concession stand, on-field games for some of the kids in attendance, and of course, All-County and Player-of-the-Year awards handed out in-between innings!

Chicago White Sox Charity
Donate Used Equipment to Help Underprivileged Baseball Players in the Dominican Republic
This season we are asking for your support for a project run by longtime Chicago White Sox scout Pepe Ortega and the White Sox organization. The team is helping underprivileged kids in the Dominican by providing equipment donated from players in the US. If you have any old equipment (bats, gloves, batting gloves, hats, shirts, cleats, etc.) and would like to help out, please contact us or bring the donations to the All-Star game. With the support of the entire South Florida community (Miami, Broward, Palm Beach), HSBN hopes to collect record amounts of used equipment.

We look forward to seeing the whole community at the game!
