Midway Classic Home Run Derby
910 N. Harbor Drive, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $99
The Midway Classic is a part of this year’s All-Star festivities which culminate with the California/Carolina League All-Star Game on June 21 at The Diamond in Lake Elsinore. Home plate for the competing hitters will be located approximately 250 feet from the bow of the ship, and the hitters are expected to hit an estimated total of 150 balls into San Diego Bay. The balls landing in the bay will be retrieved by volunteers on jet skis, standup paddleboards and kayaks who are stationed in the landing zone. The volunteers include teens who are benefactors of Outdoor Outreach, a local non-profit that provides water-based recreation opportunities to youth in underserved neighborhoods in the San Diego and South Bay areas.
