Boston All-Star Game in 2012?

When I walk into Fenway Park, my entire body tingles. I look around and bask in the history of the place. The electricity in the atmosphere gets my blood pumping faster and I'm enveloped by a feeling of happiness, excitement, and pride. Yes, I said pride; I'm proud of our 'little ballpark that could.' The new ownership team has done some amazing things to the park. They've added thousands of seats (most of which I can't afford unfortunately) and they've made the park feel more modern. Not only that but they've thrown in a few traditions; you haven't lived until you've heard 37,000 people try to sing 'Sweet Caroline' in unison. It's terrible but amazing at the same time. I think everyone should get to visit Fenway once in their life which is why I'm thrilled that the owners have put in a request to host the 2012 All-Star Game. 2012 will be the 100th anniversary of the park and it'd be a perfect time to play host. Bud Selig and company haven't yet made a decision for anything after 2010 and we probably won't hear about it until near the end of next season. Still, picture Jon Lester pitching like Pedro Martinez did in 1999. ...mmm, the tingles are back.
