Biden will meet with "All Star Teachers" drawn from each of the 30 Major League markets at a ceremony Tuesday afternoon, and then watch the game with them and their guests.
Minnesota's representative is Shakopee High School calculus teacher and softball coach Neil Johnson. According to a bio posted on mlb.com, the lifelong Minnesota Twins fan has served as the school's math department chairman for 20 years.
Biden will also join the teachers during the All-Star Game Red Carpet Parade down Nicollet Mall.
