Baseball Hall of Fame legend, Tommy Lasorda, added " we are looking forward to a Bobby Valentine All-American team that will provide us with early looks at potential MLB talent that we can hopefully one day project as players who can help win a World Series."
The Bobby Valentine All-American team will play a 2011 summer season that simulates a minor league experience as the players will live and travel together for 48 days. The schedule is the most geographically diverse program of any team in the United States, guaranteeing our players maximum exposure to recruiters in every region of the USA. The team will play up in tournaments against experienced competition such as East Cobb Braves, East Cobb Astros, Norcal Baseball, Diamond Devils, and the Utah Marshalls, Bryce Harper's 2009 summer team.
