County League Takes on Shoreland League in All-Star Battle

After a two-year hiatus, the best players of the Door County League and the Shoreland League will do battle once again Thursday, July 14, in an all-star game at Capital Credit Union Park, 2231 Holmgren Way in Ashwaubenon.

The Door County League has tried many all-star formats over the years. The best of the best at one time would take on the Green Bay Blue Ribbons, the American Legion team; or face off internally in a north-versus-south format. 

The concept got a jump start a few years ago when the league matched up against the Shoreland League. After a successful start, the pandemic put the brakes on the game until a new incarnation this year.

I attended a work function at Ashwaubenon’s Capital Credit Union Park, which opened in 2019 primarily as a soccer field. I thought, how cool would it be to play on this field? Then it hit me: Maybe we could rent it for one night for the Institute Cubs to play a Door County League game there. That thought went on the back burner until this spring, when the thought of reviving the all-star game at the park came forward, and, after nailing down the logistics, it came to fruition.
