The Yankees went into the 1998 All-Star break with a hard-to-top 61-20 record. It felt like they could do no wrong, and it came as no surprise that this historically great team would feature its fair share of participants to the All-Star Game. The Bombers would send five representatives, shortstop Derek Jeter (his first), center fielder and eventual batting champion Bernie Williams, right fielder Paul O’Neill, AL starting pitcher David Wells, and surprise third-base standout Scott Brosius. It would be an exciting slugfest out in Colorado, and a few Yankees made their impact known on the big stage.
