2011 Aflac/PG Question

[Uofo2212]

Anyone know what dates what used to be called the Aflac game, and now called the Perfect Game Class of 2013 is? I believe it is in San Diego again, but the site requires plug ins at work, and our firewall won't let me view it. Anyone know how much tickets are as well? Please advise. Thanks.

For the ninth year, 38 of the nation's top high school baseball players will come together to play in the 9th annual Perfect Game All-American Classic, presented by Rawlings, the country's premier high school baseball showcase. The game has been played in San Diego for five of the past six years.

The Classic features an East vs. West format that will be played at PETCO Park on Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 5:00 PM. This will be the third consecutive year that the San Diego Padres have hosted this outstanding event, whose alumni include Major Leaguers Jason Heyward, Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, Rick Porcello, Freddie Freeman, Justin Upton, and Eric Hosmer, along with former #1 picks Tim Beckham and Bryce Harper. Ticket proceeds from the All-American Classic will once again benefit the Rady Children's Hospital, right here in San Diego.

We should have the same coverage we had at last years game. Player interviews player videos and if topps is doing cards we can probably get some footage from that as well.
