Its time for the Major League Baseball Allstar Game again. Who will be on the team? Well for my favorite Braves, the no doubter is Chipper Jones who is hitting a whopping .389. A-Rod will most likely be the choice for the Ameican League since he is a fan favorite as it is. I am personally hoping for some younger talent to get into the ranks such as maybe B.J. Upton (who is helping lead the division leading Rays) or Robinson Cano even though its probably not going to happen. I don’t expect to see many Mets on the list since they have all been struggling to even have a winning record. If only Willie Randolph could coach the team! haha. Somebody else who I would like to see in the All-star game would be Rick Ankiel just because he started out as a pitcher who lost control, went down the minors, and returned a few years later as an outfielder?!?!?!?! Its such an odd story especially since pitchers rarely are even good at hitting but this guy can play a position as well. You can find mlb.com’s all-star selection page here and you can find ESPN’s version here.  Also Bon Jovi will be performing July 12th in New York’s Central Park.

In other baseball news, mlb.com is offereing a chance of a lifetime. You can submit an audition to be a “rookie” reporter in the WORLD SERIES. How it will work is: you submit an application, and then several people will be chose to battle it out in several competitions, and last but not least America will vote for who they think should be the broadcaster. Sounds like a pretty unique opportunity to me but unfortunately I do not have the deep, microphone loving voice that you o so long to hear.
