Sluggball All-Star Classic in Philly

Former Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. is bringing his wild, offense-only baseball game Sluggball to Philly this summer for an All-Star Classic on August 8th at Penn’s Meiklejohn Stadium — a fast-paced, high-energy showdown where players hit targets to score, not strike out. With legends like Cole Hamels, Mickey Morandini, and Mike Lieberthal on deck, plus iconic managers Charlie Manuel and Larry Bowa calling plays, it’s shaping up to be a blast. Tickets are on playsluggball.com, and proceeds benefit brain tumor research and college scholarships. Tying into MLB All-Star Weekend and Phillies Alumni festivities, Amaro’s hoping this event sparks a huge local buzz — and maybe even a new baseball craze.
