It is a beautiful morning, indeed, my fellow baseball fanatics, as the greatest show on astroturf is upon us. Tomorrow night, the American League will face off against the National League in the 91st rendition of the MLB All-Star Game. While our Tigers representation tops 2019, when I made my personal pilgrimage to the Midsummer Classic, that’s only because the commissioner tossed us a bone. (Finally, that doggone Manfred did something!)
These are your Monday morning links.
Miguel Cabrera and Gregory Soto to the main stage
In case you missed it, your Detroit Tigers will send two representatives to the Midsummer Classic for the first time since 2017, when Detroit sent 2017 AL Rookie of the Year Michael Fulmer and Justin Upton, recipient of the “Only Good Al Avila Free Agent” award (yes, you can hang an asterisk on that trophy, too).
