2018 CHRISTMAS CLASSIC PARTICIPANTS ANNOUNCED
The 2018 Christmas Classic will be held on Christmas Eve – December 24th, 2018 in Honolulu Hawaii at Hohokam Park.
How does the MWBL going to handle the Christmas Classic Home Run Derby? This is an idea that came from a league (BUNT), that the Commissioner checks out from time to time. Dave Snyderman one of the members produced the idea a few years ago and which has been refined somewhat as they went along. The MWBL refined the idea a little more and adopted the concept for the Christmas Classic Home Run Derby.
Representing the American & National League teams they finished 2018 with, will be the following twelve (12) players.
Started in 2017 – No Mid-West Baseball League Franchise will have more than one representative.
