Lith Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 20 HOFers and Pete Rose. And amid all of that talent, the starting SS for the NL was our very own Bud Harrelson. I used to watch the MLB All Star game every year. Now, I can't remember the last one I watched. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never watch it anymore. When do you think they will settle? Bet you a beer, or beverage of your choice, not till after the NFL draft.

Just have to find a time and place so we can settle up during the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family drove down from LI over 3 days--6 of us squished in a car. Left my older sisters home. On 2/5/2022 at 6:12 PM, Lith said: 20 HOFers and Pete Rose.

Haven't seen one in decades. My favorite was 1988- my daughter was born that day and I sat in the hospital chair cradling her, wife asleep in the bed next to us and watched the whole game. Bunch of Mets--Straw, Hernandez. They wore white spikes. We talk about it every year on her birthday. Second favorite was her freshman orientation at Loyola. Sat in a bar and watched David Wright just miss winnning the HR derby which ended up destroying his career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players used to really care who won, less so now. The NL and AL used to never play (other than the WS), so that was the only chance to see an elite NL pitcher vs and elite AL hitter, and vice versa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then, if you lived in an Al or NL city, that was the only time you got to see the stars from the other league. Aside from the occasional Game of the Week or the World Series. Living in NY, we had the chance to watch both, but I wouldn't watch Yankee games as a kid. All Star Game was the only time I got to see some of those AL Stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, hated the Yankees although went to games and saw Kaline, Killabrew, Brooks, Yaz, Boog, Frank Howard, saw Rod Carew steal home plate during a Bat Day, a few others--have to think a out it.

I don't know why I just read this, but when I read that line it reminded me of the Simpsons. 9 NBA all-stars AND DANNY AINGE! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
