The first three years of the Pittsburgh NABA we had the All Star game at the end of the season, and attendance by both players and spectators was poor. Last year we drew a nice sized crowd, it was a great atmosphere.
Matadors' Ron Tiedeman (below) will manage the Allegheny Division. The Matadors (8-5) have gone on a nice run after struggling with early season injuries
Vinny Gala, and Brian Strom (below) will represent the Bulldogs, along with pitcher Dan Morgan.
Kenny Rayl, (below) of the Black Sox will manage the Monongahela Division.
The Allegheny appears to be the weaker of the two divisions, but don't tell that to Warriors founder and the Allegheny Divisions' starting catcher Craig Boley, who has helped lead the Warriors to the top of their division at the season's half way point.
Boley sounds off on his all star selection and the Warriors' dominance.
Joining Boley in the mid-summer classic are fellow Warriors Jason Lesher and Steve Heckman.(below)
They received some good news this past month.The Ducks are represented by starting catcher, Jesse Smith and pitcher Nick Homa (below), along with utility player, Ben Gwin.
Joining the Ducks on the Monongahela Roster:
The Eagles are represented by Guitarists Glen Fry and Joe Walsh.
I expect a high scoring affair. This year's game features a host of players with whom I am unfamiliar, and last year's lop-sided win by the Monongahela Division should have the Allegheny side looking for redemption. I know Fago, former Duck, Jeremy Barchie, and Homa can dominate on the mound, and the Black Sox and OwlZz are two of the best hitting teams I've seen.
And of course the Monongahela Division has the Ducks on their side.
Pete Rose is a chump.
Let's stay injury free tonight.

CF, Dan Stell, leader of the Rebels(below).

The OwlZZ are dominating in the early going, Faygo and Sloan bring wisdom, and the ability to kill rodents to the Monongahela Division squad.Following him into battle will be the last two League MVP's John Tremmel, and Jesse Jones
