A's SP Paul Blackburn Caught Ride on Astros' Charter Plane to 2022 MLB All-Star Game

It turns out even bitter rivals can throw away the competitiveness ahead of the MLB All-Star Game.

Oakland Athletics pitcher Paul Blackburn revealed the Houston Astros had him fly on their charter plane to Los Angeles after he was originally supposed to be on a commercial flight.

"It's awesome. It shows that, within baseball, it's kind of like a brotherhood," Blackburn said, per Mark Berman of Fox26. "Everyone respects each other and tries to help each other out. I'm greatly appreciative for their organization and letting me tag along over here."
