Jeter and Yogi Team Up for FanFest

MLB has announced that Derek Jeter and Yogi Berra have been named the official spokesmen of this year's DHL All-Star FanFest, to be held at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York from July 11-15.

"DHL All-Star FanFest is a unique event that will bring excitement and enjoyment to baseball fans of all backgrounds," Jeter said. "DHL All-Star FanFest is the largest baseball fan event in the world, and I can't think of a better stage to hold this type of once-in-a-lifetime experience than New York City."

"DHL All-Star FanFest will be great for the fans," said Berra. "And I also agree with everything Jeter said." The DHL All-Star FanFest will feature more than 40 interactive exhibits and attractions, Major League clinics and seminars, free autograph sessions with Yankees legends and Hall of Famers, memorabilia and much more.

Fans will be able to create their own personalized baseball cards, step up and test their pitching and batting skills against life-size video images of their favorite players, examine an exhibit on loan from the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y., and take a look at the world's largest baseball -- 12' in diameter and signed by greats like Ted Williams and Hank Aaron.
