On June 9th, 2003 the inaugural AllAmerican Baseball Game was played in Little Falls, New Jersey at Yogi Berra Stadium. The game has certainly grown in five short years and the 5th annual All American Baseball Game presented by PlayStation was played on June 4, 2007 at beautiful Isotopes Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This year’s contest was played before a record crowd of 9,350 fans in attendance. The game was televised on Fox Sports Net and featured 40 of the top high school baseball players in American. The 2007 game kicked off with pregame festivities that featured more than 3,000 local little leaguers and coaches entering Isotopes stadium for Albuquerque’s largest ever little league parade. The colors of their individual teams and uniforms made a bright and festive banner statement. The nation’s colors were presented and the National Anthem was sung and then the 2007 AllAmericans took the field. The very funny and memorable Yogi Berra zinger It got Late very Early played into this years game as the West team came with their bats swinging. The games only home run came in the first inning by Tim Alderson Scottsdale, AZ of the West Team. Alderson blasted a 3Run home in his first plate appearance and set the tone for the rest of the evening. The West had jumped to a 101 lead by the end of the fourth inning and at the games end scored two more runs for a 121 final score. Alderson, also the winning pitcher for the West, was named the 2007 AllAmerican Game’s Most Valuable Player. Although this year’s AllAmerican Baseball Game presented by PlayStation resulted in a heavily lopsided offensive slaughter by the West bats, the game was wonderful in every sense and provided everything a baseball fan would hope for. The atmosphere at Isotopes Park was electric and the evening was perfect for baseball. The perfect ending to something so AllAmerican was the evenings beautiful fireworks finale. One of the unique highlights of the game was when Quinyuan Meng pronounced Munk who had traveled all the way from Beijing, China with an international interpreter to be a member of the East Team. Fans and players from both teams were on the edge of their seats and on their feet in support, cheering Meng on as he took the mound for the East squad.
