Wow, almost a year since my last post, I’ve really been slacking.

Tomorrow is Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game, and traditionally I sit down on the couch in front of the TV with some lager, peanuts in the shell, and maybe a hot dog and cheer on the American League squad.

My favorite team is still the New York Yankees, despite not having lived in New York for nearly 44 years now. They are having a historically good year, with a record of 64-28 (.696)… Aaron Judge has 33 homers so far… new addition Matt Carpenter has hit .354 with 13 homers, 34 RBIs and a 1.380 OPS in 31 games (21 starts), appearing at first base, third base, and designated hitter, as well as in left field and right field… and the Yankees have “Nasty” Nestor Cortez in the starting lineup, who, like Carpenter, has blossomed since joining the team. The Yankees are sending six players to the All-Star Game – Aaron Judge (the biggest vote getter this year), Giancarlo Stanton, pitchers Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortez, and Clay Holmes, and catcher Jose Trevino. Both Judge and Stanton will be in the starting lineup.

Looking forward to watching!
