What a night.

I expected the drama, the Hall of Famers and all that fanfare about Yankee Stadium.

But the longest All-Star Game ever?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

This is one stadium that knows how to put on a show.

Yankee fans cheering a Red Sox homer.

Somebody’s going to reap the rewards in OCTOBER. With home-field advantage in the World Series.

Angels? Red Sox? White Sox? Tigers? A’s? Even the Rays?

Keep your eyes and ears open.

The first half flew by — the second half is ON.
