Day Two: Practice, Rady Children's Hospital, and Dave and Buster's

San Diego – The Aflac All-Americans got down to business Thursday morning as they went through their first drills at the University of San Diego’s Cunningham Field.

During infield and outfield practice it was evident why these players are considered the best at their positions. Crisp, accurate, strong throws and highlight reel plays were the norm. Batting practice followed and line drives and deep blasts kept everyone on their toes.

After practice and lunch, the players bussed to Rady Children’s Hospital to spend time with the patients there. But before they met the kids, they broke down into four groups and were taken on a guided toured of the hospital.

Later, the playroom was the center of the action where All-American’s helped kids make crafts, played baseball with inflatable ball and bat, or did battle on video games. They also autographed posters and presented them to the patients.
There was not a lot of downtime for the players as they headed to dinner and games at Dave and Busters.

Their day of activities ended with All-Americans filming their player introductions for Fox Sports Net.

Friday will also be a full one. Their morning practice will be followed by a VIP trip to Sea World. When they come back to the team hotel they will be presented with bats from Rawlings, attend a baseball seminar and take part in signing their baseball cards made courtesy of Topps.
