Call it a celebration of America’s pastime, call it a break in the middle of the summer, call it the best all-star sports weekend ever, but don’t call it boring. The All Star game is coming to Arizona.

There’s the home run derby. The Old-Timer’s game (I think they still do that). The Future’s game. Oh, and a showcase of the best baseball players in the world.

While not everyone likes it, the baseball all-star game is the only one that counts, as the winning league gets home field advantage in the World Series. It’s week of fantastic events and it’s all going to happen right downtown.

I’m already in line for tickets.
