'All your baseball cards came to life': The night, 50 years ago, when 22 Hall of Famers played in an All-Star Game for the ages

No other All-Star Game has featured 20 Hall of Fame players. Let all the names on this field on this one night sink in: Rod Carew, Brooks Robinson, Luis Aparicio, Frank Robinson, Carl Yastrzemski, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Harmon Killebrew, Jim Palmer, Johnny Bench, Willie McCovey, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Willie Stargell, Lou Brock, Ron Santo, Tom Seaver, Steve Carlton, Ferguson Jenkins, Juan Marichal and Roberto Clemente, who would sadly be there for the final time. The managers, the Orioles' Earl Weaver and the Reds' Sparky Anderson, are also in the Hall of Fame.

Mike Trout: 2.3 fWAR (36 games)

Mookie Betts: 2.2 fWAR (76 games)

Mookie isn't having a good year.

Realllllly hoping he declines.

That, bauer going to prison, and kershaw needing TJ should about do it.

So much for having an all-star closer.

Ugh this sucks. I hope he's able to recover. That could be a potential career-altering injury.

Minasian should trade Upton back to the Braves...

4 dudes appear to have been plotting to shoot up the All-Star Game next week.

It could have been worse.

The Dodgers are winning 20-1.  The D-Backs are unimaginably bad.  If this score stays the same, they'll have a -145 run differential.

Horrible news.

In my mind, the best player in the game after Trout and Ohtani.

Prayers for a full recovery.

Without Pujols they don’t get 20 tonight. Meaningful hits tonight

If only the Angels were good enough to where we would have to root against other player to make ourselves feel better.  

BTW, I'll always root against Bauer.  Even if he were an Angel.

Too bad it was the Astros. But I'm sure Yankee fans are going berserk, which makes me happy.

Skanks/Red Sux game postponed due to Skanks CoVid outbreak.

First ones since Halos/Twins in mid-April?

[Lou]

"... and Aaron Judge - who started for the American League in Tuesday's All-Star Game - are also in COVID-19 protocols, ESPN's Buster Olney reports.

There were five Red Sox players at this year's All-Star Game - Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez, Nathan Eovaldi, and Matt Barnes - and they shared a clubhouse with Judge. Not all of them are fully vaccinated, manager Alex Cora said, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe." 

 

Ohtani and Walsh better be vaccinated.
