Get up-close Draft, All-Star access with MLB Moments sweepstakes
Imagine announcing an MLB Draft pick. Playing in the All-Star Celebrity Softball Game. Rubbing elbows with the stars on the All-Star Game Red Carpet. Being on the field right before the Home Run Derby starts.
Now you don't have to imagine. The 2023 MLB All-Star Game in Seattle will make fans a part of the Midsummer Classic like never before.
MLB Moments is a fan experiences platform where fans can enter sweepstakes for a chance to enjoy once-in-a-lifetime moments in baseball. The first experiences will take place at this year's All-Star Week, which kicks off on Friday, July 7, and runs through the game itself on Tuesday, July 11.
There's one All-Star experience for the Draft, one for the T-Mobile Home Run Derby, one for the Celebrity Softball Game and one for the Red Carpet.
"We're so excited to welcome fans and the baseball world to Seattle in a couple of weeks for the All-Star Game, and the MLB Moments just represent a cherry on top for the fans," said Mariners vice president of marketing Gregg Greene. "What an incredible opportunity to experience the All-Star Game like nobody else."
Fans can enter to win one of the four experiences at MLB.com/Moments. Get your name in while you still can -- there's only a few days left to enter. The sweepstakes closes Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Winners will be provided with travel, lodging and tickets to all All-Star Week events -- that includes the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game -- for them and one guest, in addition to the experience itself.
Here's everything you need to know about each of the four All-Star experiences.
All-Star Celebrity Softball Game Experience
The MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game presented by Corona has become one of the most fun events of All-Star Week. This year, one lucky fan will get to play in the game themselves.
The winner of the Celebrity Softball Game Experience will get to participate in the star-studded event on Saturday, July 8 -- which last year included celebrities like Bad Bunny, Bryan Cranston, J.K. Simmons, Simu Liu and The Miz, plus former MLB stars like CC Sabathia, David Ortiz and Vladimir Guerrero.

The lucky fan who gets to play in the 2023 game will receive a custom jersey to wear on the field and get to bring one guest to attend All-Star Saturday with them, including pre-event access with the Celebrity Softball Game participants.
"Being down on the field with all the incredible participants and playing in the game on the field at T-Mobile Park with tens of thousands of people in the ballpark -- that will be something that people won't forget," Greene said.
The winner and their guest will receive tickets to All-Star Saturday, PLAY BALL Park, the Home Run Derby on Monday and the All-Star Game on Tuesday.
All-Star Game Red Carpet Experience
MLB's brightest stars always shine on the All-Star Red Carpet Show presented by T-Mobile, where the All-Stars get to showcase their style off the field.
The winner of the Red Carpet experience, plus one guest, will get up-close access to the biggest stars of All-Star Weekend.

First, you'll be paired with a stylist ahead of the event for your own Red Carpet look. Then you'll get to see all the All-Stars on the Red Carpet from a special viewing area. And of course, you'll have photo opportunities with the stars of the weekend.
"You're going to feel like a superstar," Greene said.
But the experience doesn't end with the Red Carpet. The winner and their guest will also be treated to tickets at T-Mobile Park for the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game.
T-Mobile Home Run Derby Experience
The Home Run Derby can be as big a spectacle as the actual All-Star Game. Remember the show Mariners superstar Julio Rodríguez put on last year in Los Angeles?
For the 2023 Home Run Derby, one fan and a guest will get to experience the Home Run Derby like never before, as they watch from up close as baseball's greatest sluggers take the field to show off their light-tower power at T-Mobile Park. Will J-Rod return to try to take home the Derby crown in his home park?

The winner of this experience will get on-field access before the Derby and receive an autographed baseball from the 2023 Home Run Derby participants.
They'll also get up close to the Derby Champ Chain and its presentation to the 2023 Home Run Derby winner.
MLB Draft Day Experience
This one might be the most special experience of all. One fan will get to announce a Mariners Draft pick on Day 1 of the 2023 MLB Draft.
The winner will announce Seattle's second-round Draft pick live on Sunday, July 9 -- the team's final pick of Day 1.

The Draft is taking place during All-Star Week at Lumen Field, the home of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, which is located on the site of the Mariners' old stadium, the Kingdome. That's where the fan will get to announce the Mariners' pick -- where Seattle's legends played.
And who knows, maybe that Draft pick will become Seattle's next great superstar one day.
"It's right around the center field where Ken Griffey Jr. used to roam, where Edgar Martinez and Randy Johnson played," Greene said. "There are so many great memories on that site, and one lucky fan is going to get the opportunity to make one more memory with this MLB Moments All-Star Draft experience."
