You Heard It Here First
I just saw an All-Star promo on ESPN. Not only did they make it blatantly obvious that Bay would be our All-Star selection, but they made every indication that he would also be participating in the annual Home-Run Derby.
It may have something to do with the global diversity flare going into the Derby this year, seeing as how Bay is Canadia's most prominent home-run threat. This is all just promotion for next years Baseball World Cup, which is dumb. They should just give the players two weeks off in the middle of the season to play in the Olympics every four years, like hockey. Oh well. As far as I know this is the first time a Pirate has been in the derby since I started following the Pirates in '96.

This is a blog about the Pittsburgh Pirates. My vision: to write about the games at the games.
