Here's The Derek Jeter Farewell At The All-Star Game
John Farrell waited for the American League to take the field in the top of the fourth inning so he could remove Jeter from the game and give the crowd a proper chance to send off Jeter. It was a nice moment, Jeter tipped his cap (face) to the crowd, the players, and the coaches. He then went into...
MLB Network Host Told Trout Before Game He'd Triple Home Derek Jeter
MLB Network host Greg Amsinger spoke with Angels slugger Mike Trout during today's pre-game festivities, and jokingly told the All-Star outfielder that he'd come up to bat with Derek Jeter on second base—and hit a triple to drive home the Yankees captain.

Hey, the All-Star Game Is Finally Here! I Said, the All-Star Game Is Fi ... Oh, Forget It
No one who was playing professional baseball the year that I last watched an entire All-Star Game from start to finish is still playing today. Not one single player.

Yasiel Puig Not Named To N.L. All-Star Team (Yet)

Grumpy Hater Jonathan Papelbon Doesn't Think Yasiel Puig Is An All-Star
Everyone loves Yasiel Puig, because Yasiel Puig has done nothing but be completely awesome since being called up by the Dodgers one month ago. Everyone except Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon, that is, who thinks that it would be "a joke" if Puig made the National League all-star team....
Mets Approached Cougar Site About Stuffing Ballot Box For David Wright
When the first vote totals for the MLB All-Star Game were released last week, David Wright was in second.

White Sox Bribing Fans To Vote Jake Peavy To The All-Star Team
It's time again for the stumpin' and campaignin' of the All-Star Game Final Vote, which I reluctantly capitalize since it's not a particularly creative branding (No "Plus One?"
