Good times in Lakeland....

I only had the opportunity to catch the pre-game party and the game itself, so I can't speak for the whole weekend, but it seems like the 45th Annual FSL All-Star Weekend went pretty well.



It was beautiful, breezy evening in Lakeland's Joker Marchant Stadium. You might be able to see all five of the Clearwater Threshers' in this picture as both teams line up for the anthems.



Mike Costanzo started at third base and played the whole game. He went 1 for 4 at the plate and made some great plays with his glove.



Phinley was on hand along with the rest of the FSL mascots to entertain the thousands of fans at the game on Saturday.



Miss the fun? Catch 47 will be airing the ballgame on Wednesday, June 21 at 9pm.
