San Bernardino, CA- The Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernardino and the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians announced on Tuesday that San Manuel Stadium in downtown San Bernardino will host the 2019 California League All-Star Game.

The 2019 California League All-Star Game presented by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians will mark the third time that the circuit has honored its best in San Bernardino.

The game will consist of the top performers from the four North Division teams (Modesto, San Jose, Stockton and Visalia) versus a squad consisting of South Division (Inland Empire, Lake Elsinore, Lancaster and Rancho Cucamonga) players.

While the California League All-Star Game Presented by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians will be the centerpiece of the activities on Tuesday, June 18th, the festivities will also include a Fan Fest and Home Run Derby. The Fan Fest will offer a chance for fans to meet with the players while the Home Run Derby will spotlight the league’s top hitters and pair them with local youth leagues’ best sluggers for long-ball supremacy.
