JUPITER, Fla. - The 2011 Dick Howser High School All Star Game, honoring Palm Beach County's top senior baseball players, will take place at Roger Dean Stadium on Saturday, June 4th at 2:00 p.m., preceding the Palm Beach Cardinals vs. St. Lucie Mets Florida State League game.

In keeping with the tradition of the annual game, the coaches of the area high schools selected the two teams. Each Palm Beach County high school head coach had the opportunity to nominate seniors from his team. Coaches then got together to vote on the make up of the All Star teams, with coaches not being able to vote for players from their own school. To view the complete rosters, visit RogerDeanStadium.com.

This is the 24th year of the event and the 11th year at Roger Dean Stadium. Players from the North squad will be outfitted in Florida Marlins uniforms and Jupiter Hammerheads hats while the South squad will be wearing St. Louis Cardinals uniforms and Palm Beach Cardinals hats. College and professional scouts are expected for the event. Players are set up in one of the stadium's locker rooms, with the players' names above their locker, and clubhouse attendants handling the players' pre- and post-game needs.

The Roger Dean Stadium Advisory Board puts on this wonderful event, chaired for the eighth consecutive year by local attorney Bill Pruitt. "Whether this is the last time they will ever put on a uniform or are headed for college or professional careers, playing with a big league uniform on their back in this All Star game is a great experience," Pruitt said. "The kids are given the same treatment that the big league players get during spring training. Playing on a big league field, in a big league uniform-it's a great way to end a high school career."

Mike Bauer, the stadium's General Manager, said "Roger Dean Stadium is proud to host this annual event. What better way to promote baseball than a grassroots All Star Game such as this' The Cardinals and Marlins are very proud to be associated with the Dick Howser game-not only because of its namesake, former Major League player and manager and local resident Dick Howser-but as much because it is a local event with local roots and history."

Gates will open at 11:00am on June 4th. Batting practice and infield will take place before the 2:00 p.m. game. The Palm Beach Cardinals vs. St. Lucie Mets game will follow at 6:35 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the stadium box office for $8.50 and can be used for both games.
