On the eve of Major League Baseball’s 92nd midsummer classic, the All Star Game, my wife and I created and hosted an most exquisite off field event to kick off the 2022 All Star Weekend. We teamed up to create “Evening of Champions”, a VIP, Invitation only, star-studded, red-carpet event for the icons, legends and luminaries of sports, business, entertainment and culture to celebrate All Star Game week. The luxurious Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills was the venue for this championship affair. The food, drinks, decor, music and guest list reflected and highlighted Los Angeles with its legendary culture of achievement, winning, career dreams, aspirations and successes.
It was magical evening, a celebration of friendships, relationships, gratitude and the fun around the All Star game that they are so familiar with.
I was an All Star twelve times” “Los Angeles is the perfect place o bring together the champions of sports, business and entertainment, for an evening to remember. We thought this was a great way to highlight the midsummer classic and we did just that”
Celebrities included Earvin Magic Johnson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Cal Ripken Jr, Derek Jeter, Barry Bonds, etc., along with television, movie stars, Cedric the Entertainer, L.L. Cool J, Smokey Robinson Anthony Anderson and Shannon Sharpe were in attendance. We stepped up to the plate and hit the pitch out of the park with “Evening of Champions”. This VIP affair in the City of Angels may very well have catapulted MLB All Star Game festivities to a new level.
