Bowman Partners with Northwoods League for Major League Dreams Showcase

July 31, 2015 - Northwoods League (Northwoods)
Madison Mallards News Release


Rochester, Minn. -- This year's Showcase takes place on August 4 in Madison, Wisconsin, and Topps is proud to partner with the Northwoods League with a series of events culminating with a Bowman® rip party at the Showcase.

The Major League Dreams Showcase brings together 100 of the Northwoods League's top prospects to form four teams for a day of scouting workouts and double-header action. Played in front of major league scouts, the Showcase provides an invaluable platform for players looking to one day make it into the professional ranks.  Participating players are hand-selected by a panel of major league scouts, distinguishing this event from the more traditional All-Star Game format that features representatives from every team.

Much like the All-Star Game, however, the Showcase is a "can't-miss" for baseball fans looking to catch a glimpse of the country's elite collegiate baseball talent.
