MLB 2009 All-Star Festivities
This year is the year that I have been waiting for ever since I moved to St. Louis. Ahhh.... To be in the worlds greatest baseball town when the most amazing players in baseball get together to determine which league gets home field advantage in the World Series. The only problem is that I am no longer in St. Louis :-(. I moved a little over a year ago to Tampa, FL and baseball is not a main topic here. Fans are not passionate about the Rays (Can't see why not lol).
So here is the list of festivities that I have only been able to see on TV.
