All of the Cape Cod Baseball League players on hand for the Cape League All-Star Game were dressed in similar warm-up jerseys — and all had ear-to-ear grins on their faces.

The crowd is pretty sparse here as the Wolverines start their first game of their double-header with Ball State. But today is surprisingly perfect for a baseball game.
