All-Star Game Boasts Talent
BOULDER, Colo. – Everything is geared up for tomorrow’s inaugural BH Baseball All-Star Game at Dr. Scholl’s Field in Boulder, Colorado. The Boulder Bunions enter the game with more all-stars than any other team with 9. Many of these players are listed as starters, so the crowd should be raucous.
It is curious to wonder, however, whether the Pierce Brosnan League, with its assortment of teams east of the Mississippi River, can compete with the all-powerful Bill Paxton team which houses the teams out west. The Paxton League dominates myriad statistics in hitting and pitching. Critics, however, argue that most of these statistics are dominated by one team: Boulder. They go on to argue that the combined might of the Brosnan League may prove very competitive with the combined might of the Paxton League. “Simply put,” Jacob Hampton, BSBN contributor said, “the Brosnan League beats up on each other.” The all-star game, it seems, could go either way. At least the viewing public will finally see a compact version of a Charleston/Boulder match-up, a match-up that many see solidifying itself in the Goldblum Cup at the end of the season. If the Brosnan League wins the all-star, it truly makes Charleston look quite the contender for the Boulder juggernaut.
Jeff L. Horner, league commissioner and owner of the Virginia Opossums commented on the game’s importance: “This game is the premier showcase of talent that Blue House Baseball has to offer. In that respect, it is our best display of the overarching ability of our players. With that in mind, it is one of the most important games ever played in this league.”
The promises to be a battle of wits as the strong pitching of the Pierce Brosnan League battles the powerful hitting of the Bill Paxton League. It may actually turn out to be an irresistible force meeting an immovable object.
