It’s almost time for the wacky pagentry and spectacle of the MLB All-Star Game and Home Run Derby. I mean, who could forget this?
In 2017, Robinson Canó hit a go-ahead home run to win the game for the American League and was named the All-Star Game MVP. Feels like a million years ago, right?
How about last year, straight up just a year ago, the Mariners comms team went full court press to #SendSegura for the Final Vote spot for the 2018 All-Star Game and Jean Segura hit a go-ahead home run, but then Edwin Díaz gave the lead back, so then Alex Bregman hit the game winning home run and won MVP, and then Segura proceeded to have a trash second half of the season while destroying whatever good team chemistry was left on the 2018 team which fully allowed the roster to be dismantled and oh god I am way off track here.
