Not sure what all the hullabullbo is all about.
The MSABC is not affilliated, directly, with county's athletic directors. [Thus, as a heads up, I am not sure the message from All-Star20, of Laurel, email would be received well.] In many counties, the AD is unable to coach, and more so in the private than public (although there are a few exceptions i.e. Arundel , where AD's are allowed to coach a sport.)
I predict the process for the 2006 MSABC Pre-Season All-State Baseball Team is identical to what's happened in year's past. Thus to be nominated, complete this form, and submit:
Nominees
For the eleventh year, the MSABC will select a preseason all-state baseball team. You are invited to have input into these selections to ensure that all eligible players in the state have an equal chance of being selected. The final 20 players selected will be honored at the Leadoff Banquet held at Camden Yards in February, and their names will be released at that time.
The two criteria that have been established for the selections are:
1. The player must have played on his school’s varsity team in 2005
2. He must have been honored at the conclusion of the 2005 season as an all-county, all-league, regional all star, or all-metro team player.
(Exceptions to criteria #2 can be made for outstanding players)
To nominate any of your players or someone from another school please complete the following form and send it to:
tbs ksk@aacps.org
All nominations must be submitted by December 10, 2005
After compiling the list of nominees, Selection of the team will take place at the selection meeting Thursday December 15, 2005 at Mount Saint Joseph at 6:30 pm. If you can’t attend the meeting please forward your 20 selections. A list of nominees will appear on the www.mdsabc.org. by Tuesday December 13, 2005.

However, the process for the MSABC Classic is something different than the MSABC Pre-Season All-Star Team. And as a heads up, the 2006 MSABC All-Star game is scheduled for Sunday May 28, and is planned to be held at the University of Maryland on Shipley Field. For 2005, the four MSABC Regionals and MSABC Classic All-Star Game is planned for May 22 & May 29 respectively
and the locations will be selected at Jan 2005 MSABC Meeting.
