2010 triple-a all-star game to lehigh valley

View from the car on the way to Dryville last week.

Coca-Cola Park, home of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (Philadelphia Phillies' Triple-A affiliate), will host the 2010 Triple-A All-Star game. This is quite a coup for the park, which opened only this season. It was made possible by the record-breaking attendance of 600,000+ set in the first season. The IronPigs had a terrible season but that did not keep fans away. Getting the All-Star game here definitely says that professional baseball is back in the Lehigh Valley.
