OK, David Cruz and Prince Fielder have slugged a few already. Cruz knocked one into the top deck in left and Prince hit the batters’ eye in deep, deep center. Prince also smacked one that was measured at 497…
Miles! Not feet, miles!
No, sorry. That’s made it. It went far though.
Two hitters in and this thing is already dragging.
Oh, get this… Chuck Berry is playing at the All-Star Gala after the game. I happen to love Chuck Berry. I also really enjoyed the Chuck documentary called Hail, Hail Rock-n-Roll, especially the part where Chuck looked like he wanted to throttle Keith Richards for pretending to teach Chuck how to play music that Chuck invented.
So in tribute to Chuck, “Pay me my money!”
Nelly is also playing at the Gala, which reminds me of the 2001 Phillies and their clubhouse after winning games. Robert Person, a St. Louis native, was the clubhouse DJ so he played Nelly, another fella from The Loo.
Anyway, Prince and Cruz both hit 11 homers. If Howard bows out early I’m going to head out and watch Chuck.
“Pay me my money!”
