dp_palmetto_games_red_black1.jpgThe Palmetto Games: Our 10th Annual All-Star event is on the horizon, the dates are August 12-13. In the past, our goal has been to trim the roster to 120 players or less…But this year is a little different. Our statewide talent is more widespread than in recent years past so we expanded the roster and will play more baseball as a result. Without further ado, here is our deep roster of strict, invite-only roster invitees the and schedule too. Parents: Please read the Non-Fine print
