Bridgeport Bluefish News Release
(Bridgeport, Conn. - July 1, 2015) - The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball today announced the rosters for the 2015 Atlantic League All-Star Game, which will take place on Wednesday, July 8th at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport.
The All-Star Game will be a nine-inning contest with Bridgeport's own Liberty Division taking on the Freedom Division of the Atlantic League. Professional wrestling legend Ric Flair® will be the guest host of the game, and there will be a special Meet & Greet before the game in the Two Roads Beer Garden.
The Atlantic League's new official baseball will be introduced on a permanent basis at the All-Star Game. The red, white and blue baseballs, produced by Rawlings, are reminiscent of official baseballs last used in the American League until 1934 when the League switched to solely red stitched balls.
