The CMBA is proud to participate in this year’s Winnemac Fourth For All celebration through our 2026 All-Star Game, taking place on Saturday, July 4th at 2:00 PM at Winnemac Park.
This year’s event is especially meaningful as part of the community celebration surrounding the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The CMBA All-Star Game will serve as one of the featured attractions of the day and will take place ahead of the evening’s headlining events.
Over the past several weeks, the league has been working closely with the Winnemac Park Advisory Council to coordinate planning, promotion, and press surrounding the event which will provide a great opportunity to showcase our league, our players, and amateur baseball in Chicago.
Most importantly, this is going to be a great community event.
There will be live music, food trucks, activities throughout the park, and a full day centered around bringing people together in one of Chicago’s great neighborhood green spaces.
This year’s All-Star Game will feature CMBA All-Stars against CSYBA All-Stars.
All-Star Selection Process
Each CMBA team will provide five All-Star representatives.
Managers may determine their representatives however they choose, whether through manager selection, internal team voting, or another process. You may nominate whichever players you feel are deserving, though I recommend the following general structure:
- 2 outfielders
- 2 infielders/catchers
- 1 pitcher
These players will be recognized by the league, and we intend to highlight them on the CMBA website as representatives of the top performers from each club.
Help Us Spread the Word
This is an exciting opportunity for the CMBA to be visible within the broader Chicago community and to continue building momentum for the league.
Please help spread the word across your teams and encourage players, families, and friends to attend.
We’re looking forward to a great day of baseball and community at Winnemac Park. More info here.
