Tuesday Trivia (All-Star Edition)
Ok, so a few questions today to get you ready for tonight's game.
1- When was the last time the National League won the All-Star Game?
2- Who was the first Yankee to be named All-Star MVP?
3- Who was the last Red Sox to be named All-Star MVP?
BTW- check out Joel Sherman's ideas on how to make the HR contest better. Some are clever and I am all for aluminum bats if they put nets around the stands and use a pitching machine. Otherwise it is just too dangerous.
Comments
1 - must be around 1997 or so, seems like forever
2 - guess Dimaggio
3 - Fred Lynn
I posted this morning on my blog about rules changes for the Derby, kinda tongue in cheek but would at least offer some different results and keep people more interested.

1) The NL last won the game in 1996 (although they did win 19 times in 20 years at one point).
2) Derek Jeter is the first and only Yankee to be named All-Star MVP.
3) Carl Yastrzemski was the first Red Sox to be named All-Star MVP.

Well Tyler nailed two-of-three and gets bonus points for correctly pointing out that Jeter is the only Yankee to be named All-Star MVP.
But, All-Star memories are apparently short because the last Red Sox to win was J.D. Drew, in 2008!
