Ah, the Midsummer Classic: It holds memories from all stages of my life -- from watching classic games in the ‘70s with Bob Gibson, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Bobby Murcer and Brooks Robinson to more recent events such as the 2002 game when both teams ran out of pitchers so the game had to be called off in the 11th inning! I have a soft spot in my heart for this annual summertime rite of passage on the second Tuesday in July, especially seeing a few of my beloved Yankees suiting up for the game every year.
