2017 HRL All Star Night, Saturday, July 8th
The voting is complete, and the 2017 Hopkins vs. Eagan All Star and Fun Star rosters have been elected! This year’s mid-summer classic will take place at Hopkins, Central Park and will feature the All Star game as the HRL’s best (or those available) from their respective cities go head to head for the 12th time (rained out last year). The Fun Star Game will see the former HRL Commissioner, Truck, lead Eagan’s most fun against perennial Fun Star Eddie Bauer lead the Hopkins squad. All Star Night will also feature a running HR Derby where any HRL fan or player can pay $5 to see how many HRs he/she can hit before recording 10 outs (any swing not resulting in a HR is considered an out). Whoever hits the most HRs in one round before the end the night will get half of the pot, with the other half of the money going to the HRL league fund.
The timeline for the evening is as follows:
5:00 - The running HR Derby begins, as well as drinking and grilling (BYOE, the E stands for Everything)
5:30 - Fun Star Game (4 innings or 45 minutes, whichever occurs first)
6:30 – HR Derby Finals (Top two hitters from earlier in the evening)
7:00 - All Star game (9 innings)
