On the day The Yankees Stadium/Polo Grounds said fare-well to the last All-star Game it will ever see, it sure seemed like it didn’t want too say good bye. Going to the bottom of the 15th inning was Michael Young one out sacrifice-fly scoring the homerun derby winner Justin Morneau from third.
The San Diego Padres side of things they have a lot too be proud when it comes to their 1st baseman
Adrian Gonzalez has one hit, one RBI, one strikeout on three at bats; defensively he was great just like we’re use to. He was clutch in the big situations; his sac-fly in the top of the 8th was though to be the winning run until Billy Wagner gave it up the next inning to Evan Longoria ground rule double scoring Grady Sizemore.
One note to point out The Florida Marlins 2nd baseman Dan Uggla had three errors that had big roles in both times The American League, came back or when they on it.
Two in the 8th and one in the 15th.Other notes: Matt Holiday started off the scoring with a single homerun his first All-Star homerun. Also Lance Berkman scored Hanley Ramirez on a
Sac-fly in the top of the 6th. But it wouldn’t hold up as the bottom of the 7th inning
J.D Drew hit a two run shot (first in an All-Star Game) scoring J.Morneau.
It was a Mid-Season Classic and Homerun Derby for the times and good ones to send the Yankees Stadium/Polo Grounds off on a memorable note. Thank You for the memories since the being of time!
