Let the Futures Game blogging begin



 

We are here at Yankee Stadium, where batting practice is over, the World team is taking infield and we’re only a few short hours from the celebrity softball game!

But seriously, first pitch of the Futures Game is about an hour away and Ben Badler and I are here in the press box to bring you all the action. John Manuel will be in the World team dugout, reporting on the goings-on there for XM Radio, so we hope to have a few dispatches from his as well.
