All-Star Memories


Growing up when I did as an American League fan, I don’t have many pleasant memories of the All-Star Game outside of Reggie Jackson hitting a light standard on the roof at Tiger Stadium in 1971.  I also remember Harmon Killebrew tearing his hamstring doing the splits at first base trying to field a throw in 1968, but that was more weird than anything.

It’s different for Clare.  In her lifetime, the American League has gone 15-6-1.  So, what’s not to love?  We sit on the couch, watch the game and analyze.  I’m always pointing at front feet, she’s looking for signs of hustle.  Summer, and life, don’t get much better than this.
