MLB's All-Star festivities are all about bringing the big names together. This also applies to the annual Celebrity Softball Game, which serves as a prelude to baseball's current stars taking the field.
Luckily, this harmless bout now carries the same stakes (none) as the actual All-Star Game. This year's celebrity shindig takes on a new format, as a hometown team will represent Cleveland against everyone else.
Much like Mr. Burns aiming to dethrone Shelbyville's Nuclear Power Plant, Cleveland has recruited a bevy of stars to ensure softball glory at Progressive Field. With a roster featuring former Indians standouts and a few other athletes, the deck seems stacked in favor of the home team.
