ST. LOUIS (AP) -St. Louis Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols plans to participate in the Home Run Derby during All-Star week at the new Busch Stadium.
The announcement was made Thursday in a statement released by Major League Baseball.
Pujols will also join former Cardinals great Ozzie Smith as official spokesmen for the All-Star FanFest, to be held July 10-14 in downtown St. Louis.
The Home Run Derby is July 13 and will be televised live on ESPN.
MLB said more than 80,000 tickets for the All-Star FanFest had already been sold, about 7,000 ahead of last year’s record-breaking attendance at the old Yankee Stadium.
