MLB All Star Game News:

The Major League Baseball All-Star Game, also popularly known as the "Midsummer Classic" is an annual baseball game between players from the National League and the American League, currently selected by fan vote for the starting position players and by the manager (the managers from the previous year's World Series) for pitchers and reserve players. The All-Star Game usually occurs in early to mid-July and marks the symbolic halfway point in the Major League Baseball (MLB) season (though not the mathematical halfway point; in most seasons, the game actually takes place after about 55% of the season has been completed), and since 2003 it has been used to determine home field advantage for the upcoming World Series (which has been taken clear advantage of by the American League, since the National League hasn't won an All-Star game since 1996, and therefore hasn't had World Series home field advantage since 2001). The most recent All-Star game was played on July 11, 2006, at PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh. The first All-Star Game was held as part of the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago, Illinois, and was the brainchild of Arch Ward, then sports editor for The Chicago Tribune. Initially intended to be a one-time event, its great success resulted in making the game an annual one.

The 12-time All-Star called it quits with Tampa Bay, finishing 276 hits shy of 3,000. He led Toronto to consecutive World Series titles in 1992-93 and was considered by many a lock for the Hall of Fame until a swift decline his last three seasons as he drifted from team to team. Alomar's legacy was tarnished, however, when he spit in the face of umpire John Hirschbeck in 1996 while with Baltimore. The messy confrontation made front-page news all over the country and turned Alomar into a target for angry fans throughout the majors. He made matters worse afterward by saying he thought Hirschbeck was under stress because his 8-year-old son had died of a rare brain disease three years earlier, prompting the umpire to charge into the Orioles' clubhouse looking for Alomar. The two became friends, however, and worked together to raise money to fight that brain disease. Alomar also played for San Diego, Cleveland, the New York Mets, Arizona, and the Chicago White Sox during 17 seasons in the majors. He won 10 Gold Gloves and was a career .300 hitter. Almost as soon as Alomar announced his retirement, the Devil Rays signed speedy outfielder Alex Sanchez, who was released Tuesday by Detroit after he hit .322 with 19 stolen bases in 79 games last season.
