Baseball All-Star game

We are at the midpoint in the baseball season which means it is time for the All-Star game. Even if you are a casual fan, this is the year you should watch. This year has been an outstanding baseball season full of many firsts in the history of the game. Tampa Bay has the best record in baseball, Milaukee wins the CC Sabathia sweepstakes (if you do not know who he is, you really need to watch some ESPN), and Chicago has two first place teams. Don't let the stories of Arodonna(A-Rod/Madonna), Roger Clemons, and Barry Bonds jade your view of a game that also features Corey Hart (ex-IndyIndian), Geovany Soto, Dustin Pedroia, Carlos Quentin, and Evan Longoria just to name a few. Even if you are not into these young stars, I can give you a reason to watch. The game is at Yankee Stadium. This is the last year for Yankee Stadium. Next year the team will move to the NEW Yankee Stadium. So even if you are not looking to get acquainted with the new generation of MLB, you can watch the game next tuesday night to say good-bye to the house that Ruth built in 1923.
