This should be highly entertaining for baseball fans who tweet, to witness all the trash talk (trash tweets?) between the jovial all-stars who will be swinging for the fences. Get your questions and comments ready for your favorite player. Which Twitter accounts should you follow during this batting extravaganza? Here's the full roster from MLB.com:
American League captain David Ortiz (@davidortiz), Jose Bautista (@JoeyBats19) and Kemp (@TheRealMattKemp) will be tweeting on their accounts during the course of the event as participants, and so will other All-Stars including Heath Bell (@HeathBell21), Gio Gonzalez (@GioGonzalez47), Hunter Pence (@HunterPence9), Brandon Phillips (@DatDudeBP), Gaby Sanchez (@GabySanchez15), Justin Upton (@RealJustinUpton), Major League Baseball's first Tweeter C.J. Wilson (@str8edgeracer), Howie Kendrick (@HKendrick47) and Joel Hanrahan (@hanrahan4457).
Want to see these guys smacking it out of the park on TV? It'll be live on Monday night (7/11/11) from Chase Field in Phoenix on ESPN and ESPN3 starting at 8 P.M. ET. (Update: My original report about a live stream on MLB.com was incorrect. According to Major League Baseball, "Video and picture content shot by players during the event will be distributed across social media and posted to MLB.com." However, a live stream of the action is available on ESPN3.com, but you must have a cable subscription to access it.)
