Welcome to the 31st Annual DMBL All-Star Game!

This year we prepare to play the 31st All-Star Game in league history -- a game pitting the top players from the Diamond Conference and the Micro Conference.  2012 was the first year that featured the conference matchups. Previously it had been the Hanover Division against the Morris Division, but with the league expansion, the DMBL chose to realign its two divisions into four.   In 1991 and 1992, there were only six and seven teams, and only one division.  The top players from those six or seven teams were pitted against the AL and NL All-Stars in a two game series.  In 1993, when the league expanded to 10 teams, the league was split into two divisions allowing for a better All-Star game format.

This year it was all Micro, as Buster Posey started the scoring in the 3rd with a solo shot off Carlos Rodon. Later in the inning Byron Buxton hit a bases-clearing double to extend the lead to 4-0. Juan Soto added a 2-run homer in the 4th to make it 6-0. Diamonds bats never got going, getting only 5 hits in total and zero walks. Starter Jacob deGrom racked up 4 Ks in 2 innings.

Buster Posey, playing in his final All-Star game, left like a champ, going 2-2 with a homer and a double to take home the MVP prize.

Check out all the details in the box score.
