DENVER--(Business Wire)--
Major League Baseball fans looking for the best recommendations for places to
eat, sleep, visit, and party have a new inside baseball resource in LikeMe.Net.
LikeMe`s roster of celebrity Guest Recommenders features more than 30 NL and AL
celebrity players, including 13 of the 2009 All-Stars playing in St. Louis next
week, who each divulge their top lifestyle picks not available anywhere else. 

Want to know where St. Louis Cardinals` 2008 NL MVP Albert Pujols likes to eat
when he`s playing in LA, or where Mets' All-Star David Wright stays when he`s in
Arizona? How about the Dodgers` All-Star right-hander Chad Billingsley`s
favorite Chicago chophouse, or where Yankees` All-Star first baseman Mark
Teixeira goes to eat when he travels back to his old college stomping grounds in
Georgia? LikeMe has it. 

LikeMe.Net is a lifestyle recommendation engine and community that uses a
cutting-edge algorithm to match you with people who have similar tastes and
deliver you their best recommendations. LikeMe`s Guest Recommender program
introduces your favorite celebrities into the network that powers your search
results and allows you to discover new places to see and things to do as
suggested by the players themselves - in their hometowns and favorite cities
around the country. 

Since the MLB Guest Recommenders are integrated into the LikeMe community,
you`ll naturally come across their recommendations as part of your search
results. But you can also become a fan of your favorite players so you can keep
up on the new recommendations they add in your news feed. And the site`s
similarity algorithm will tell you how much you`re "like" each Guest
Recommender, so you can find out with which players you share the same taste. 

LikeMe.Net also provides personal recommendations from other sports celebrities
in the NFL, NASCAR, the NBA, Action Sports, U.S. Swimming and the entertainment
industry.
