By Alan Matthews
August 6, 2003
Sports America, Inc. has announced its inaugural AFLAC All-American High School Baseball Classic rosters. The event will be held on August 23, 2003, at Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida, the spring training home of the Minnesota Twins and permanent stadium for the Fort Myers Miracle. The event is endorsed by many of the game's pillars, including Major League Baseball, Baseball America, and Perfect Game.
"Major League Baseball is happy to support this effort by Baseball America and Sports America to promote high school baseball," said Sandy Alderson, executive vice president of Baseball Operations for Major League Baseball.
The AFLAC All-American Teams feature the top rising high school senior baseball players in the country, as determined by official selection partners, Baseball America and Perfect Game.
Net proceeds from the event will benefit Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida as part of AFLAC's ongoing commitment to support research and treatment of pediatric cancer.
