There's a very interesting and funny story on Yahoo! Sports right now about the reason the American League has dominated the All-Star Game of late. Yearly profanity-laced pep-talks from Ichiro.
The American League has won every All-Star Game since 1997, aside from the infamous 7-7 tie in the 2002 game, featuring a flustered Bud Selig.
Also, when you're enjoying the game tonight try not to think about the fact that the play-by-play man isn't even enjoying himself. Not even if Tim McCarver would offer him some of his cotton candy. Poor Joe Buck.
Anyone else wish the games were back on NBC with Bob Costas behind the mic?
Well, well well... AL has home-field adavantage. Another boost for the Sox in 2008.
Bonzia, Ichiro!
