I wrote up the Angels franchise Top 20 All Star Game highlights for SBNLA.
You can CHECK IT OUT HERE but be warned that it is a trip down memory lane... I wonder if any will be made this Tuesday... And can you think of anything that the list is missing?

Vlad’s HR derby. The title correctly says ’07, but in the text it says ’06.

1967
You might want to mention that Fregosi pinch hit in the 3rd inning and played the rest of the 15 inning game with a single and a sac bunt.

Oh great
Steinbrenner dead. Now the whole damn game is going to be about the crazy old fart.

That should be on his headstone.

Finley and Salmon in the Legends Game...
… I was wondering if that was meant as a deliberate righting of wrongs or just a coincidence. In the last All Star game at Angel Stadium, Chuck, one of only two representatives of the hometown fans, got to watch the entire game from the bullpen as LaRussa chose to use him as his extra inning back up, making sure all HIS guys got into the game, of course (Stewart started and Moore pitched, as well). Sure, not everyone gets into the game, but come on, when the hometown has few reps, give the locals a freakin’ thrill, huh? So seeing Chuck get to pitch, even in the kind of silly Legends game at the next All Star break in Anaheim, seems to give Finley the belated opportunity to pitch.
And as for Tim, despite his solid career, he never got the chance to play in an All Star game. So it was nice seeing him get to walk out in the spotlight in Anaheim and have a little taste of the cheers of the locals after an MVP performance on the field that he was never afforded an opportunity for in the past.
Also kind of nice seeing Bo Jackson, who was the MVP at the 1989 game in Anaheim and closed out his career with the Angels.

Legends game looked fun. ESPN messed it up, of course, but that's only to be expected.
