ANALYSIS/OPINION:
The last time the Major League Baseball All-Star Game was in the area the game may have changed forever.
In 1993, one year after Baltimore’s Camden Yards opened, the Orioles hosted the All-Star Game — a game that will forever be remembered for the Mike Mussina-Cito Gaston feud, when the American League manager and skipper of the defending champion Toronto Blue Jays refused to put in the hometown pitcher in a 9-3 AL blowout, resulting in an avalanche of boos from the Camden Yards fans and bitter feelings that lasted for years.
Former commissioner Bud Selig says the 2002 All-Star tie debacle in his hometown of Milwaukee was a result of what happened in Baltimore in 1993.
