Decent rally by Utley

That upper-deck shot got out fast.

I don't think ESPN has enough people covering this thing...

Was it last year or two years ago that ESPN got kicked off-site for All-Star Game coverage? They are making up for it now.

Utley's swing is not suited to a HR competition.

Especially not there.

Too much of a gap guy.

If Utley was running off the bat, he'd have had second base, easily. Es all around.

Last year, I believe.

That George Brett clip never gets old.

No it really doesn't.

What do you guys think is the most significant sports moment in Yankee Stadium history? I'd vote for Louis-Schmelling.

... But Boomer trying to tell the Josh Gibson legend sure does. :

Whoever's panning the camera should probably be told that Gibson was a righty anyway. If he DID hit one out of Yankee Stadium, he sure didn't do it over the right-center field fence.

Win one for the Gipper or Larsen perfecto.

 

[pallister]

Still no sound here. The derby is more fun to watch while listening to Pantera.

Either that, or the 1958 NFL championship game.

Gipper, devil? WTF? :

 

[mike311gd]

Now that's a catch.

I've heard Brett say in interviews that the last thing he remembers about that entire incident is "If that guy calls me out, I'm going to ****ing kill him."

And what a great catch by the kid on the black seats.

 

[Italian_Stallion]

That was a great catch.

 

[mike311gd]

That's the top play of the night.

 

[pallister]

That catch will be No. 1 on Top Plays tonight.

EDIT: Beat me to it.

Damn, I love those Torre does LA commercials.

Gibson supposedly hit one over the clock at Wrigley too.

 

[mike311gd]

Holy cow. He knocked the snot out of the top of that ball.
