June 1, 2007 - International League (IL1) News Release


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - With the 20th annual Triple-A All-Star Game in Albuquerque, New Mexico just under six weeks away, Triple-A Baseball and Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM) announced today that online voting and the "Make Yourself a Triple-A All-Star" Sweepstakes are now underway. This is the second consecutive year that Triple-A Baseball and MLBAM have teamed up to offer this opportunity to baseball fans across the country. Voting begins today and will run through Friday, June 22nd. This year's contest will take place at Isotopes Park on Wednesday, July 11th at 7:35 p.m. EDT.

Fan balloting will account for one-third of the total vote along with ballots cast by members of the media and each club's field manager, coaches, and general manager. Using MLBAM online voting services, fans can access the ballots at the official websites of Minor League Baseball (www.MiLB.com), the Pacific Coast League ( www.PCLBaseball.com), the International League ( www.ILBaseball.com), and the websites of all 30 Triple-A teams.

All fans who participate in the online balloting will be able to vote for players from both the PCL and IL rosters. Fans can select their favorite players at each of the infield positions, plus three outfielders, a designated hitter, and four pitchers - two starters and two relievers. Write-in votes for players not listed on the ballot will also be accepted. Up-to-date statistics and position-by-position comparisons will be available at the click of a mouse to help fans make their selections. Updates will be made available weekly for both Leagues. Once the balloting period is over, fans can check the aforementioned websites for updates and features leading up to the All-Star Game.

Upon completion of an online ballot, fans will also be invited to enter the "Make Yourself a Triple-A All-Star" Sweepstakes. In conjunction with MLBAM, Triple-A Baseball will be providing two winning contestants with a prize package that includes Triple-A All-Star Game memorabilia, two autographed baseballs, and a complete set of Triple-A All-Star Game baseball cards. The Sweepstakes will run concurrently with the balloting, beginning June 1 and ending June 22. Fans can register up to five times for their chance to win.

Contestants who don't wish to enter online may enter the Sweepstakes by printing their name, address, city, state and zip code, day & evening telephone number(s), and email address (optional) to: Make Yourself a Triple-A All-Star Sweepstakes, c/o Baseball Advanced Media, 75 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY 10011.
