Among the many recognizable names and standouts playing this year: Alfonso Soriano, Ivan Rodriguez, Brady Anderson, Rick Ankiel, Bobby Abreu, Aaron Roward, Jacque Jones, Roy Oswalt, Bengie Molina and John Franco.

Not to mention the coaching staff - Team Knucksies (in honor of Phil Niekro's knuckler) is headed up by Phil Niekro, Rollie Fingers and Robin Yount, while Team Wizards is led by the Wizard of Oz himself, Ozzie Smith, along with Tom Glavine and Tony Perez.
