Drew, Francona, and Sox Stick It To Yankee Stadium
The final all-star game at Yankee Stadium was kind of a send off for the legendary park. Thats why I am loving the fact that the All Star MVP was a Red Sox (J.D. Drew), The winning manager was from the Red Sox, and the Sox had the most A.L. All-Stars. Those 3 facts where a Nelson Muntz Ha Ha to Yankee Stadium and all the Yankee fans.
On a side note, I feel bad for Dan Uggla. Not only did he have an error filled All-Star game, but he has one of those names that Headline writers like to mess around with such as Uggla's ugly night from ESPN.com. Overall it was a great game. I watched most of it and heard the last few innings on the radio. While I still think home field in the World Series should be given to the team with the best overall record, I do admit that I was somewhat more interested (and I think the players might have been too) in the outcome of the game because of the whole silly winner gets home field advantage thing.
