As usual the first class organization that is the St. Louis Cardinals were great hosts and put on a wonderful show. The Gateway City lived up to it's reputation again as the best pure baseball town in the country. The only part of the show that I would have changed, or liked to have seen be added, involved the honoring of the former Cardinal greats , especially Stan "The Man" Musial. I would have liked to have seen them give Ozzie, Bruce, Red, Lou, and Gibby their own moment for the fans to recognize them individually, rather than all at one time. And as for Stan Musial, it was great the way they drove him out to deliver the ceremonial first pitch baseball to President Obama. However I would have also had the current All Stars gather round him, and or line up and shake Musial's hand just like they did in Boston at the 1999 game with Ted Williams. Stan Musial is the greatest living pure hitter alive since the passing of Ted Williams, and he is often overlooked when people talk about the greatest players ever. I would have liked to see a little more air time and recognition for him last night. In sport that is full of amazing stats and oddities, Stan Musial is author of one of the most amazing ones. Stan "The Man" finished his career with over 3,600 hits (fourth all time), and had the exact same number of hits at home as he had on the road! Overall a great job hosting baseball's Mid-Summer Classic by America's best pure baseball city. Nice job St. Louis, I'm not surprised. Have to agree on all the All Star Game festivities.
