The 2008 contest will mark the second time the Triple-A All-Star Game will be played in Louisville. In 1991, the National League affiliates defeated the American League affiliates 3-1 before a crowd of over 20,000 at Cardinal Stadium. Louisville will become the first International League city to host the event twice.
Included in the All-Star festivities will be three events: Rally's FanFest from July 13-15, Papa John's Home Run Derby on July 14 and the Meijer Triple-A All-Star Game on July 16.

Player autograph and photograph sessions will be available. The Papa John's Home Run Derby begins July 14 at 7:00 p.m. and will feature hitters from both leagues competing against each other at Louisville Slugger Field.
