"The friendly round-robin tournament, which is for kids ages 11-12 from Jr. RBI playing divisions, will be played July 10-13 on fields throughout Cincinnati, the host of the 86th MLB All-Star Game on July 14," the website notes.

"Major League Baseball is proud to offer the young men and women participating in the Jr. RBI Classic this once-in-a-lifetime experience to be a part MLB All-Star Week," Tony Reagins, senior vice president of youth programs for Major League Baseball, said in a statement to Reds.com.
