Excitement Builds for the First Annual Montana High School All Star Baseball Game in Butte

Butte is gearing up for an electrifying event that promises to bring together baseball lovers, families, and friends for a day full of thrilling plays and unforgettable memories. On August 16, 2025, 3 Legends Stadium will transform into a haven for young talent as it hosts the inaugural Montana High School All Star Baseball Game. This one-of-a-kind event is not only about the game; it’s also a celebration of the spirit of community and the love for America’s favorite pastime!

A Dream Born at Rockin’ the Rivers

The seeds for this magnificent event were sown during the much-loved Rockin’ the Rivers festival in August of 2024. As two enthusiastic individuals ran their booths, the idea for hosting an All Star game blossomed into reality. Soon after, Brandon Scown, serving as the general chairman and event coordinator, joined forces with Mel Hamilton to craft a vision for Montana’s baseball future.

Planning with Purpose

From that moment, the duo has been hard at work behind the scenes, meticulously planning every detail since December 2024. Their objective? To create a fantastic experience while ensuring it fits snugly into the busy schedules of young athletes. By voluntarily choosing a date that avoids clashing with high school and Legion baseball seasons, they’re hoping to extend the excitement of Montana’s baseball season into the fall months. This aligns perfectly with up-and-coming fall programs from local leagues, including the popular Butte’s Mile High Little League.

East vs. West: Feel the Rivalry!

Baseball fans will be treated to an action-packed showcase as the All Star game features rosters filled with outstanding talent from high schools across the Montanan landscape. The teams will be split into East and West, giving players the unique opportunity to shine on a larger stage. Spectators can look forward to witnessing Butte’s very own Matt Donaldson representing the East team—a player with skills that surely won’t disappoint!

More Than Just a Game

This event is not just about home runs and strikeouts; the All Star game has a meaningful cause behind it. Proceeds from the game will directly benefit children’s hospitals and support Montana youth with medical needs. Even though the name has transitioned from the former Montana Shrine Baseball Classic, the mission of providing assistance to those in need remains steadfast. By attending the game, fans will not only enjoy the spirit of competition but also contribute to a noble cause.

Mark Your Calendar!

As excitement swells, fans can circle their calendars! The festivities kick off beforehand, with player arrivals and uniform pickups scheduled for August 14, followed by a banquet on August 15 at the Civic Center featuring amazing items up for auction. And don’t forget the grand affair on game day—gates will open at 2:30 p.m. with the first pitch set to soar at 4 p.m.. Expect a riveting full nine innings of baseball, packed with energy and showcasing the region’s best talent.

A Community Comes Together

The community of Butte has shown tremendous enthusiasm and support in response to the All Star game initiative. This heartwarming partnership between local organizations and baseball enthusiasts is truly commendable. The aim is clear: to create lasting memories, foster the love for baseball, and establish a legacy for future generations.

As the countdown to August 16, 2025 begins, baseball lovers across Montana are invited to come out, cheer for their teams, and be part of history. Whether you’re a family with kids eager to catch their favorite athletes in action or a die-hard baseball fan, the first annual Montana High School All Star Baseball Game promises to be a grand event that no one wants to miss!
