As we hit the actual halfway point in the season on Wednesday with game 81, the colloquial halfway point, the All-Star break, is coming up quickly as well. The festivities in Denver will kick off that Sunday starting July 11. That final Sunday before the break is also the day the Futures Game takes place, which is a showcase for some of the top prospects in the sport. In the past, the event was set up as a United States versus The World. That was changed a couple of years ago to being American League versus National League, with every team having at least one representative.
