Hypothetical:

Navarro gets hurt and has to leave. Do they

a.) call the game
b.) make a pitcher play catcher
c.) let one of Varitek or Mauer re-enter the game

Do what I used to do when I was a kid

and set up an old basketball backboard…anywhere in the box is a strike. It serves as a great backstop

Joe Girardi comes in. Did you know he used to be a catcher for the Yankees? This is the last All Star Game at Yankee Stadium, and this is the last year of Yankee Stadium. Babe Ruth played there a long time ago. I learned these things tonight.

Uggla is MVP

And if an AL team walks away with the trophy, they’ll forward a stipend of that check to him.
