Wow. Fenway Park.

All-Star Game.

Wow.

I need to get my head straight if I don't want to look like a rube out there.

I am lead off the game, facing Zane Smith of the Mariners. I ground one to Tony Fernandez at 2nd but I think my adrenaline is making me even faster and I outran him for a single.
With one out, Will Clark of the Reds singled and I went to 2nd.
With two out Kirk Gibson walked to load the bags.
Juan Samuel of the Phillies grounded out, stranding all of us.

Three Reds on the field and I am the only Giant. Who is leading who?
Ron Darling of the Mets was starting for the NL.

The AL got on the board in the 1st when Wade Boggs scored on a Don Mattingly double.

AL leads 1-0

In the 2nd Lance Parrish of the Angels belted a three-run homer off Steve Trout of the Reds.

AL leads 4-0

I led off the 3rd, now facing Jose Rijo of the A's. I thought I got a single but Kirby Puckett caught it with a diving catch.

We finish off the 3rd with a Priske - Samuel - Clark double play getting Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken out.

In the 4th I caught a Tony Fernandez liner for the 1st out. (Blue Jays!)

We got on the board in the 5th when Dwight Evans of the Phillies doubled off Bob Forsch of the Angels, scoring Tim Wallach of the Dodgers!
I came up with none out and Evans on 3rd. I hit a dribbler to Forsch and was thrown out.
Evans ended up scoring on a Kal Daniels single. Daniels scored on a pinch hit double by Von Hayes.

AL leads 4-3

I came up in the 6th with two out and Evans on 1st. Mark Eichhorn of the Jays was pitching. I flew out to Jack Clark in right.

Scott Garrelts came in to pitch for the NL in the 7th. He walked Jack Clark, but that was it.

Chili Davis came in as pinch hitter against Tom Henke in the 8th, but struck out.

Dennis Eckersley came in to pitch the 8th. I caught a Dan Pasqua pop behind him for the 3rd out.

I was lifted for Rich Gedman of the Expos in the 9th. The NL was unable to score.

This experience was amazing.

Lance Parrish of the Angels was named MVP.

Bruce Ruffin never got in the game.
