The Frontier League’s All-Star Week festivities get underway on Monday evening when guests will arrive and attend a reception. On Tuesday July 16th, fans are invited to attend the 2013 All-Star Luncheon with keynote speaker and Pittsburgh Pirates broadcaster Steve Blass. Also, the same day, fans are encouraged to register their local softball teams/softball enthusiasts for a free clinic with the Akron Racers. Following the clinic, the sluggers from both the East and West Division in the Frontier League will participate in the 2013 Home Run Derby. Plus, stay a little later after the conclusion of the Home Run Derby and witness a “battle of the sexes” exhibition softball game between the Frontier League All-Stars and the Racers.
