PBL Home Run Derby

Unlike last year, this years' Home Run Derby will feature 5 players instead of 4. The players selected this year were the top home run leaders (Pup, Fool, and Sea Pupa), the batting average and hit leader (Leo), and an overall outstanding batter (Pupcheeks). The event will consist of 3 rounds and each round will consist of a different way to show off batting skills. The first round will test the players batting average out of a total of 10 pitches. The players with the 2 lowest averages will be eliminated. The next round will test distance of a batter. There will be 5 different areas on the field (infield, outfield 1, outfield 2, warning track, home run) and where the ball lands will give the player a certain amount of points. The player with the lowest amount of points will be eliminated. The next round will test how many home runs a player can hit. Both remaining players will have 20 pitches to hit the most home runs.Whoever has the most home runs is the winner.

PBL All-Star Game

This years PBL All-Star game is bound to be the best All-Star game played in PBL history. This year there were obvious selections, 1st time All-Stars, tight cuts, and old timers brought back. It must have brought a rare smile to G-Pa's face when he saw that he was on the All-Star roster for the first time in over 20 years. Long John and Pupcheeks were the first (and only) 2 year players since Sea Pupa last year, and G-Pa back in 1944 when he played for the Fools. All competitors in this game are worthy, and will put on quite a show.
