2008 All-Star Game: NL (Sheets) @ AL (Lee) 7 pm FOX

[Transmogrified Tiger]

You spend a half hour introducing us to baseball legends, and you let...........George Steinbrenner deliver the baseballs?

[Wilson A2000]

What HOFers are still alive and couldn't make it besides Musial?

 

Johnny Bench, Hank Aaron, Joe Morgan.

 

Ron Santo had to be escorted away.

 

Aaron is there.

[bcl412]

George looks bad. really bad.

 

Yeah he does. Is he sick?

[NonProfitCow]

WTF? Is Steinbrenner trying to cry?

From an interoffice envelope no less, lol

He's kinda lost it mentally

[Careless]

That's what it looks like

AFLAK

Joe Buck calling out Yogi Berra for moving closer. Why not challenge him to a fight Joe. He's damn near 90 it isn't that short of throw for him.

Bob Feller is a turf. About 20 years ago he was in town participating in a local celeb baseball game before the AAA all star game. He spent the whole time bitching about being in it and forced to share the field with disc jockeys. One of the AAA guys got fed up and put on street clothes pretending to be a local guy. He took him deep on the first pitch and Feller left the field cussing.

 

Feller has always been known as a bit of a douchebag.

 

Did have a cool windup though!!

How fast did he throw? I heard stories that he got it up in the mid 100s.

 

Why did he steal Dontrelle's wind-up?

[CubsBears29]

Man, I was actually a little excited for this game... but after all that........ ugh.

 

Again, no offense meant towards the old Legends, but damn.... 45-60 minutes after the broadcast starts- for the start of a sporting event - is a little too long to hold my attention.

hahah

 

I'd bet on Yogi

[ELCABALLO45]

Mays looks incredibly bored

at least i'm not the only one.

 

I think it has to do with the way MLB has treated Barry Bonds honestly.

Johnny Bench, Hank Aaron, Joe Morgan.

Aaron was there.

 

On my recollection of who actually are HOFers that are still living that I didn't see there: Musial, Bench, Morgan, Jim Bunning, Catfish Hunter, Duke Snider, Eddie Matthews, Koufax, Red Schoendienst, Yaz?, Nolan Ryan

 

Some of those might have been there, but I just missed them.

[SouthSideRyan]

Well, HD just ruined my opinion of Sheryl Crow.

who forced you to watch the pregame?

[Careless]

This music is ridiculous

[David]

Wow, some people here have REALLY short attention spans.

 

 

...and I thought I was bad.

[splintersag]

A little off topic, but my new icon is awesome, right?

Yogi's probably got better insurance.

[illiniguy]

I cannot believe they are getting rid of this park. Idiots.

[Careless]

Why are buck and mccarver standing really really close together? Is Buck a closetalker?

[JoshiQ]

This music is ridiculous

 

It makes me feel like I'm getting ready to go to battle with Mel Gibson in Braveheart or sink with Leo in Titanic.

 

I don't know which one is worse.

[CubsBears29]

Watching Joe Buck try to act - ie, trying to look much more excited than he really is - is waaaaaay down my list of "things to get done before I consider my life a full one".
