AFBL News: The All-Star Game Rosters Have Been Announced
Nothing is for certain about the 2056 American Federation Baseball League All-Star Game. It might be dominated by top-notch pitching performances. Or it could turn into a home run derby. Who knows? Pitch by pitch, inning by inning, the game could feature a little of both -- six strikeouts in a row by a nasty southpaw -- or a 3-homer day for some superstar slugger -- plus great catches, thrills, chills and spills -- all the great and the unexpected things that can happen in a baseball game.

This year, the Frontier League will be represented by these All-Star performers:
