CLEVELAND, Ohio - Major League Baseball is bringing its All-Star Game to Progressive Field in 2019.
It has a tough act to follow.
The last time we had the All-Star Game in Cleveland we also had the MVP of the winning American League team. Sandy Alomar Jr.'s two-run homer in the seventh was the difference.
Two other Indians made the All-Star team: David Justice, who was injured, and Jim Thome. A couple former Indians lined up for introductions. One was cheered (Kenny Lofton, Braves). One was booed (Albert Belle, White Sox.)
All in all a good time was had by most, with the exception of Canadian viewers who weren't too happy that Fox went to commercial break during the playing of Oh Canada.
