While looking through some boxes in my basement recently, I came across the 2012 Texas League All-Star Game program. The game was played on June 28, 2012, at ONEOK Field in downtown Tulsa. It was the first All-Star Game hosted in Tulsa’s downtown venue (which opened on April 8, 2010) and proved memorable for a number of reasons.
Tulsa was well-represented on the North squad, meaning there were plenty of Rockies prospects on display. Among them was Nolan Arenado, who would play 134 games for the Drillers that season, putting together a .285/.337/.428 line with 12 home runs and 56 RBI.
