The fifth-annual Jesse Flores Memorial All Star Game was set to take place Nov. 12, but the game was canceled due to rain and will not be rescheduled.

The annual Southern California high school all star game is played as a tribute to the late Jesse Flores, a longtime Southern California scout, and the players are selected by the Professional Baseball Scouts of Southern California.

During Flores' scouting career—most of which was spent with the Twins—Flores signed several big leaguers, including Bert Blyleven, Lyman Bostock, Reggie Smith, Rick Dempsey, Craig Nettles and Jesse Orosco. For more on Flores, check out this excellent feature written by Gustavo Arellano for the OC Weekly in 2007.

Even though the game was canceled, here are the players that were voted to the two teams. . .
