Final All-Star Game in New York Closing In
The 2008 MLB All-Star Game is fast approaching, and with it history will be made as it will be the last All-Star game ever to be played in Yankee Stadium. As far as the Cleveland Indians go, right now the obvious choice to make the team is tonight’s starter, Cliff Lee, who comes in at 9-1. Other than that, the rest of the Tribe may have to get MLB All-Star Game Tickets just to get in the game, and there’s not many players, if any that will make the AL squad.
There may be another Tribesman involved in the events though, as Jhonny Peralta has a shot to be involved in the Home Run Derby, as he is one of the leading HR hitters as far as shortstops go with 11. As far as getting home run derby tickets go, it may be the best bet for any Indian to make it to New York for the All-Star events.
It will be bittersweet for Major League Baseball as this could very well be the last great game at Yankee Stadium. With the Yankees being somewhat of a shadow of the power they usually are, it looks like there may not be playoff games at the “House that Ruth” built in 2008. If you have a chance to get ticks to this game or events, or MLB tickets to Yankee Stadium, take advantage of it, as it won’t be there six months from now.
