As the Atlanta Braves prepare to host the 95th MLB All‑Star Game, local legends are set to shine on the field ahead of the big event. WSBTV reports that an eclectic mix of Atlanta's finest musicians and celebrities will gather for a swinging good time at the MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game.
Jermaine Dupri and Javy Lopez, the city's beloved figures, will be managing the teams, albeit the rosters remain under wraps. The lineup, however, is no less captivating with artists like Big Boi and Mariah The Scientist slated to play alongside sports legends and media personalities. Meanwhile, FOX 5 Atlanta confirms the presence of former Braves catcher Lopez, underlining the star power infused into this charity event.
Sporting a blend of musical genius and athletic prowess, the field will feature the likes of R&B icon Ronnie DeVoe and Latin music's heartthrob Prince Royce. Accompanying them will be faces familiar to any Atlanta-based fan, including Terrell Owens, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, and the recent Baseball Hall of Fame inductee CC Sabathia. The game itself, designed to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of America, will also showcase Olympic gold medalists and media heavyweights, ensuring an entertaining blend of talent and goodwill.
For those unable to make it to the actual game, options abound. MLB has made sure fans can tune in from practically anywhere: the event will be available for streaming on MLB's various platforms, starting at around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, says FOX 5 Atlanta. And for the traditionalists, MLB Network will air the game the following Monday for afternoon viewers looking to catch the on-field antics and diamond dazzle.
The All-Star celebration isn't just about the celebs taking a swing at softballs. Saturday's schedule is packed, with the Futures Game showcasing up-and-coming stars like the Braves' own Hayden Harris and J.R. Ritchie early in the afternoon, according to WSBTV. The anticipation is growing for Tuesday night’s All-Star Game at Truist Park.
