"Our fans are so loyal and passionate that we were adamant in hosting a free event for all of the Lehigh Valley and surrounding regions to enjoy," remarked IronPigs General Manager Kurt Landes.

On-field stretching and batting practice will take place between 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. with the International League All-Stars taking the field first followed by the Pacific Coast League's best.
