Deion Sanders, Dez Bryant Headline 2024 MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game Rosters

Joseph ZuckerJul 11, 2024

Former Dallas Cowboys stars Deion Sanders and Dez Bryant helped to round out the final list of names for this year's MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game.

The league confirmed Thursday the legendary cornerback and three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver will take part in the festivities July 13 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.

Sanders spent five years with the Cowboys, signing with the team in 1995 on the heels of winning a Super Bowl and being named Defensive Player of the Year with the San Francisco 49ers.

The Hall of Famer had 14 interceptions, two of which were pick-sixes, along with four punt return touchdowns across 63 appearances. He was an All-Pro for three straight years beginning in 1996.

Bryant, meanwhile, did well to carry the mantle of the No. 88 jersey, the same number Drew Pearson and Michael Irvin wore during their prosperous tenures in Dallas. He's third in franchise history in receptions (531), fifth in receiving yards (7,459) and first in touchdown grabs (73).

Both Sanders and Bryant are due to receive warm receptions from the home crowd thanks to their contributions to the Cowboys. In the case of the former, plenty will be curious to see how much he has left in the tank when he steps to the plate.

The 56-year-old was a career .263 hitter and had 39 home runs during his nine-year MLB run, an impressive return considering it wasn't his primary sport of choice.

Sanders and Bryant join Terrell Owens as the Cowboys luminaries who will take the field.

Texas Rangers legends Adrian Beltré and Michael Young will serve as the respective managers for the two teams.
