Charleston RiverDogs News Release


CHARLESTON, SC - The Charleston RiverDogs fan base has told us why they are fans of The Joe, the delicious ballpark food and the club's commitment to the "Be Your Own Fan" experience. Now baseball fans in the Holy City can have their voices heard on a brand new subject: selecting the 2010 South Atlantic League All-Stars team.

The Charleston RiverDogs and the South Atlantic League invite fans to vote for the representatives in the upcoming 2010 SAL All-Star Game on June 22 at Fluor Field in Greenville, SC, home of the Greenville Drive.

For the fourth consecutive season, the league is including fans in the All-Star selection process, whereas in years past, the voting was limited to SAL managers, coaches and members of the media. In a way, the SAL is extending the RiverDogs "Be Your Own Fan" marketing scheme by allowing all fans of all teams to have a hand in deciding the league's All Star teams.

Fans who would like to vote can e-mail the RiverDogs media relations office (at pr2@riverdogs.com) to nominate the players and managers whom they feel are most deserving of the honor. Fans are also encouraged to post their selections on the RiverDogs' Facebook and Twitter pages.

"Being selected to the South Atlantic League Southern or Northern Division All-Star Team is a special honor for the league's young players, and the SAL and the RiverDogs want fans to have a voice in the selection process," said RiverDogs General Manager Dave Echols. "This plays right into our ‘Be Your Own Fan' mantra for this season."

Whether you are a fan of big bats, great gloves or awesome arms you can have your voice heard as you help the league select its best players in the following categories (for each the Northern & Southern Divisions): manager, pitcher, catcher, first baseman, second baseman, third baseman, shortstop, utility infielder (2), right fielder, center fielder, left fielder, utility outfielder (2), designated hitter and trainer.

For more information on each player and manager, fans can visit www.southatlanticleague.com to view all records and stats. All submissions should be e-mailed to the RiverDogs no later than May 27.

RiverDogs All-Stars from 2009 as chosen by fans included then-manager Torre Tyson, pitching coach Jeff Ware, outfielder Melky Mesa, designated hitter Dan Brewer, and pitchers Pat Venditte and Hector Noesi.
