It's All-Star week around the game of baseball.
The big league boys are in the Big Apple to play in tomorrow's All-Star Game at Citi Field, home of the Metropolitan Baseball Club of New York.
Festivities started yesterday with the Futures Game, and continue with tonight's All-Star Home Run Derby.
I'm rooting for this guy, the defending champion.
While Prince Fielder and the big league players have their fun in New York, I'll be here in Jacksonville, Florida on Wednesday night at the 37th Southern League All-Star Game, played this year at Bragan Field at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville, here on Florida's First Coast.
The Jacksonville Suns, the Double A affiliate of the Miami Marlins, are hosting the game for the second time since moving into the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville just over a decade ago.
I'll be tweeting tomorrow night at the All-Star Gala at the Jacksonville Landing, and then on Wednesday at the Fan Fest Fest, HR Derby, and then the game itself, at 7 pm.
Here's all the SL All-Star fan events, from the Suns web site.
If you're here in Jax, and are going to the game, Tweet me up for a meet at any of the events.
I'll be on all my social links a lot this week, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Also, you can follow the Suns, and the game itself, all this week on Tales from Bragan Field.
Play Ball!
