The best part was the honor bestowed on all those Medal of Honor recipients before the first pitch.
I was there. What a show!
The 10 HR in the game are a record. The previous record was 6. There were 221 homeruns hit in the Home Run Derby, a record. There were 8 in the Futures Game, a record. (BTW, a kid who hit two of those for the World team is supposedly involved in the Machado deal.)
J.A. Happ has spent his entire career as a starter and has no major-league saves. But he got one last night in the All-Star Game, in relief of a closer, who got the win.
You can’t help but wonder what Roberts was thinking when two consecutive Astros homered off one of his Dodger pitchers.
