2010 Jax Miracle League: Spring All-Star Game (5.29.10)

Kellisa played her 2010 Spring Season All-Star Game at The Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville...home of the Suns, a minor league affiliate of the Florida Marlins. It also happened to be Mike Stanton Night and all the kids received Stanton Suns jerseys.

The evening was fun and successful, which resulted in The Suns and The Jax Miracle League announcing that the All-Star Game would be an annual event at The Baseball Grounds.
