Every year during MLB All-Star Week, the city and home stadium hosts a celebrity softball game on the Sunday before the game.
In 2019, the theme will be 'Cleveland vs. The World,' and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Major League Baseball announced the rosters for the annual game on Tuesday and it includes a mix of actors, musicians and former athletes, including former Indians Jim Thome, Kenny Lofton, Carlos Baerga, Mike Napoli and Travis Hafner.
The teams have yet to be announced, but we've put the players who we think will be on the Cleveland team in bold.
