Well tonight at Trustmark Park, or the TeePee as it has come to be known, the best and brightest of the Southern League descend on Pearl for the 2007 All-Star game. The M-Braves will send 6 players into the starting lineup for the South Division, and all of the spots are well deserved, after all this is the team who won the 1st Half of the Year Title.

And let me remind you that this is your chance to get out there and see many players who will have a future as Major Leaguers, and could happen within days or weeks! Think about it… guys like Brian McCann, Jeff Francoeur, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and others have played right here in the Metro and now make a living doing it in Atlanta. And they don’t step into the box against the Biscuits or the Lookouts anymore.

So show up, pay for your ticket and some good eats (and bring your rain coat) and experience the finest the Southern League has to offer… and then one day you’ll be able to say “I saw that guy play back in Double-A ball” and not have to smile thru your teeth as you say it! Know anybody like that?
