Beach Bums send league record 9 to the All-Star Game

Posted: Updated:

The Traverse City Beach Bums will be well represented at the Frontier League All-Star game one week from today in Normal, IL as a record nine Beach Bums were voted onto the East Division squad.

Additionally, Traverse City manager Gregg Langbehn will skipper the team, giving him the honor of selecting the final three players who will round out the roster. One of those selections must come from Washington, who did not have a player voted on the team. The nine all-stars voted into the game for Traverse City break the previous high of eight that was set by Southern Illinois in 2010.

Three Beach Bums will start the game as Ryan Still was voted as the starting second baseman while Jeff Flagg and Brian Heere were both voted starters in the outfield.

Six Traverse City players were voted in as reserves as Chase Burch and Jose Vargas were selected as infielders, Marcus Nidiffer will be one of the three catchers on the squad while Reid Kelly, Scott Mueller and Jacob Clem are all on the pitching staff.
