15 innings. A Red Sox player winning the MVP in Yankee Stadium. Failure to score with the bases loaded on multiple occasions. These are the things that comprised the 2008 MLB All-Star Game. J.D. Drew won the MVP in the first all-star appearance of his career thanks to a 2-run homer that started the AL's scoring in the seventh inning. On the other end of the scale, Dan Uggla set a record by making 3 errors. All 3 errors were during extra innings: 2 in the 10th inning that allowed the AL to load the bases and almost end the game, and one in the 13th. Finally in the bottom of the 15th, Michael Young's pop fly out allowed Justin Mourneau to tag third and get home just in time to beat Corey Hart's desparation throw in a close call to make the final score 4-3 for the AL.
Fortunately baseball was able to spare itself the disgrace of 2002 when the teams ran out of players in the 11th inning and Bud Selig declared the game a tie. Once again, the AL will have home-field advantage in the World Series. The NL has not won an All-Star game since 1996, losing by one run the past 3 years.
There was some bad umpiring in that game.
It was a good game but I had to go to sleep
