Lehigh Valley Legion: Welcome
The Lehigh Valley and Schuylkill-Berks American Legion Baseball Leagues will be holding their third joint Showcase and All Star game in 2013. The objective is to provide the players from both leagues to showcase their talents before prospective college and professional scouts. Both of this year’s events will be held on the same day (June 24th) at First Energy Stadium in Reading.
The Showcase will be held on Monday, June 24th, beginning at 1:30 PM. All teams from the two leagues will be sending players who have not committed to any school to a skills tryout, followed by a 7-inning game using wood bats to showcase the players in a competitive environment. Invitations to coaches will be sent to all universities and colleges in the Eastern Pennsylvania area, but any coach is welcome to come. Professional scouts will also be invited.
The All Star Game and pre-Game activities will be held the same day, immediately following the Showcase. The game will be nine innings with wooden bats being used. While each league will develop its own criteria for selecting players, each player selected will be given an opportunity to play.
Admission will be charged (one ticket covers both events), and any profits will be donated to the VA Medical Center in Lebanon, PA.

Roster Night for the Lehigh Valley Legion Baseball League will be held on Thursday, May 23rd, from 7 to 9 pm, at Parkland HS, Room A128.
