So the NL finally won the All Star game, the first time since 1996. Brian McCann (the All Star MVP) came up with a three run double off Matt Thornton, who can apparently only throw fast balls, giving the loss to Yankees starter Phil Hughes (who started the inning giving up two singles after getting the first out). I know home field advantage is a big deal, but I still don't think the game is as important as people make it out to be. The good teams are able to win at home and on the road.
Of course, the story of the day was the passing of Yankees owner George M. Steinbrenner. Everything has been said already, but this was obviously a sad moment for all of baseball, not just the Yankees. Although The Boss is known for his brash style, I wasn't aware of all the charitable things he did. He was a trailblazer in this business and there will never been someone like him again. RIP, George.
