The Class AAA All-Star game is coming to the Puget Sound.
At a scheduled press conference on Wednesday at Cheney Stadium, ownership from the Tacoma Rainiers as well as Branch Rickey III, league president of the Pacific Coast League, will announce that Tacoma has been selected to host the 2017 Class AAA All-Star game at the remodeled venue.
The Class AAA All-Star game is held the day after the Major League All-Star game, which is always on a Tuesday. The event also has a home run derby, which is usually scheduled two days before the game.
The best players from the PCL and the International League – baseball’s highest minor league level – will represent their respective leagues in the game.
