about baseball. Then this drops in your lap:OK. Let’s break this down.First of all Alan Trammell Jersey , that’s not his full name, even though that would be quite enough. The Gabriel Moya of the Jazz Age (PLEASE DO NOT LOOK UP IF 1918 WAS THE JAZZ AGE, I PROFOUNDLY DO NOT FUCKING CARE) was named Grover Cleveland “Slim” Lowdermilk, which is simply perfect.But let’s keep this going.This means there were at least THREE people of note with “Grover Cleveland” in their name, existing in the Gilded Age (AGAIN, DON’T CARE), all at roughly the same time. You have our guy Slim, you have 22nd and 24th President of the United States Grover Cleveland, and you have Baseball Hall of Famer Grover Cleveland Alexander.It seems very likely that both ballplayers were named after the sitting President when they were born in the Wildcat Age (MADE THAT UP) of the 1880s. Which means, of all the unsettling corners of American history that I didn’t know about, there was also a time when people thought it was a capital idea to give innocent children the full names of Presidents. There were a hell-ton of scamps running around http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey , getting typhoid fever, and working in shirtwaist factories at age 13 to support their newborn twins, all named after Rutherford Hayes.And these were called “the good old days” by a lot of people who were clearly off their nut because Pepsi was still laced with morphine then.Anyway, two final things:At your child’s first grade choir concert in 2022, you’re going to get a program listing the songs and the students. And as you scan through all the Madisons and Maddysens and M’adicyns, what if you come across a couple “Donald Trump”s? White people have done dumber things. Be open to the possibility that it might happen.Slim pitched for the 1919 Black Sox but wasn’t involved in the scandal, and had a brother named Lou who played for the Cardinals and was not named for a President that I know of.And you thought “The Opener” concept was flawed. Rob Carr/Getty ImagesHouston Astros teammates Alex Bregman and George Springer hit back-to-back home runs in the 10th inning to help the American League beat the National League 8-6 in the 2018 MLB All-Star Game at Nationals Park on Tuesday.

Ten runs were scored in the final three innings (the AL and NL were tied at two entering the eighth frame).For the first seven innings, it looked like we would see another close Lance Parrish Jersey , low-scoring game, which has been a trend in recent years. Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer set the tone in the first inning and proceeded to strike out Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts and Astros second baseman Jose Altuve.He eventually got out of the inning after allowing two baserunners, but New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge gave the AL a 1-0 lead:Starting 9 Starting9Aaron Judge BIG fly off Max Scherzer right to Severino in the bullpen 5qDwox4jbtIn the following inning, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim center fielder Mike Trout delivered an offering from New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom over the fence.

Hes the second Brewers player ever to homer in an All-Star Game http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey , joining Prince Fielder in 2011.Heading into the ninth, the AL held a 5-3 lead, but Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett deposited a pitch from Mariners closer Edwin Diaz over the right-field fence to tie the game at five:Starting 9 Starting9SCOOTER GENNETT TIES IT UP IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH LETS GET NUTS meYUOELBrMESPN StatsInfo noted that the Gennett homer made history for a few reasons:ESPN Stats amp; Info ESPNStatsInfoScooter Gennett is the 3rd player in All-Star Game history to hit a game-tying HR in the 9th inning or later, joining Fred McGriff in 1994 and Ralph Kiner in 1950.7 HR sets the new record for HR in an All-Star GameThe NL didn't score any runs in the rest of the ninth, which sent the Midsummer Classic into extra innings for the second straight year. Any inkling of a rehash of the 2002 game, which ended in a 7-7 draw after 11 innings, went away quickly as Bregman and Springer hit back-to-back homers to give the AL a 7-5 advantage:Starting 9 Starting9ALEX BREGMAN SAYS FORGET THIS DAMN TIE lFMoI8ULtlFOX Sports: MLB MLBONFOXBACK-TO-BACK.

Theyre the 2nd set of teammates with back-to-back HR in the All-Star Game (Dodgers teammates Steve Garvey and Jimmy Wynn did it in the 1975 All-Star Game).Oh, and Joey Votto just hit HR number 10.The Junior Circuit got an extra run as a sacrifice fly from Cleveland Indians left fielder Michael Brantley scored Segura.Reds first baseman Joey Votto hit a solo shot off Toronto Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ to bring the NL within two, but the southpaw got the next three outs in order to give the AL a win.After the game, Bregman spoke about his home run:"I took a cutter down the middle first pitch, then kind of went into battle mode and was just trying to put a line drive in play and it left the yard. It was crazy. A lot of fun. Normally when we go back-to-back Travis Wood Jersey , I have to hit it after Springer does because he leads off, so it was pretty cool to see them go back-to-back."Understandably, Bregman also said that he was on "cloud nine," per Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle. The Astros third baseman also won a Chevy Camaro, which Bregman gifted to his mother, Jackie.With the win, the American League took a 44-43-2 All-Star Game series lead over the NL.
