Auburn’s ‘Home Run Derby’ field set

The celebrity participant list has been finalized for tonight’s Fifth Annual Orange and Blue Scrimmage and Celebrity Home Run Derby, set to start at 6 p.m. at Plainsman Park.

Heading back to Plainsman Park are former players Colter Bean (1997-00), Todd Faulkner (1998-01), Bobby Huddleston (2000-03), Steven Register (2002-04) and Levale Speigner (2000-03). Of the five, Bean (New York Yankees), Register (Colorado Rockies) and Speigner (Washington Nationals) have all played in the big leagues while both Huddleston and Faulkner played in the minors following their Auburn careers.

Joining the celebrities in the home run derby will be current Auburn players, tentatively set as sophomore Brian Fletcher, senior Ryan Jenkins, sophomore Kevin Patterson and junior Joseph Sanders.

Entrance into tonight’s festivities is a minimum $1 donation at the gate, which opens at 5 p.m. All ticket revenue will go to the Boys and Girls Club of Lee County.

Following the Home Run Derby there will be an Orange and Blue Scrimmage, where fans will be eligible to win Auburn Baseball Under Armour gear and one of two baseballs autographed by the baseball staff.
