This honorary NLB game aims to celebrate not only the rich history of the Negro Leagues but the many proud players who played with all their heart and spirit before the world would have them play as equals.

The teams will be comprised of youth talents from the local area wearing the appropriate uniforms of both the Homestead Grays and the Chicago American Giants. Famous MLB players will lead both teams in this event, with Leon and Derrek Lee as the coaches for the Chicago American Giants, while Jerry and Danny Royster shall be coaching the Homestead Grays.

Featuring Bob Kendrick from the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, this game will honor Dennis Biddle from the Chicago American Giants and Yesterdays Negro League Baseball Players Association. With special guest all-star Dave Stewart, one of the living Black Aces, three time World Series Champion, World Series MVP, and two time ALCS MVP.
