The advent of social media has been extraordinary in how it lets fans, media, and athletes have direct contact.
With MLB’s All-Star Game in Phoenix on Tuesday, we thought the idea of having a party was in order, and social media is the driver.
Tonight at 7pm, just after the All-Star Futures game, we encourage you to attend the “Tweetup at the All-Star Game”. Fans, media, and (hopefully) athletes will gather to mingle, while media and others take questions via Twitter. All anyone on Twitter that wishes to get in on the fun has to do is add the hashtag #ASGTweetup to their tweets.
WHEN: Sunday, July 10 (7pm MST/10pm ET after the Futures game)
WHERE: Coach and Willies (admission is free!)
412 South 3rd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004 (just south of Chase Field, over the railroad tracks)
(602) 254-5272
(Google Map llnk with details)
