Jefferson's Sweeney to play in Aflac game

The baseball showcase features an East versus West matchup of the nation's top high school players following their junior year. For the second consecutive year, the Aflac Baseball Classic will be played in a major league venue. Last year's showcase was played at Los Angeles' historic Dodger Stadium.

The Aflac Baseball Classic is more than just a game: It is part of Aflac's ongoing commitment to the fight against childhood cancer, with proceeds benefiting Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego. Since 2003, the Classic has generated nearly $685,000 for charity.
