5. In a typical Evil Empire move, the Yankees invite Willie Randolph as a guest to the All-Star Game.
4. The Boss makes an appearance. Love him or hate him, George Steinbrenner is a legendary New York sports figure. It was cool to see him back at Yankee Stadium.
3. Local rivals accidentally stir the pot. Chase Utley drops an F bomb. Jonathan Papelbon kind of, sort of, thought he should be the American League closer. If these two played for the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals respectively, it wouldn't be a big deal. But they don't, so of course these are earth shattering events in New York. By the way Chase, on behalf of Mets fans, the feeling is mutual.
2. The actual All-Star Game. It was good that it wasn't a glorified softball game, and there were flashes of real baseball (The American League swiped 6 bases, Nate McLouth's outfield assist to keep the game tied). However, 15 innings is 6 innings too much for an All Star Game. I will refrain from discussing Billy Wagner blowing the game for the National League.
1. Josh Hamilton. His feel good story and power were on display as he put on a show in the Home Run Derby. All-Star Week was his national coming out party.
