The All-Star rosters:
This is at least the 3rd trip to the ASG for all the Rays selected or elected, except for Vinny Willard who makes it for the first time.
The HR Derby:
It finally happened! A Rays player won the Home Run Derby as Danny Ayala edged MLB HR leader Nelson Gamez in the final round to take the crown. Ayala squeaked out each round by 1 homer, including getting by his teammate of the previous 3 years Eric Titcombe.
The game itself:
Not an exciting affair with pitching dominating. Jaiden Hardaway walked twice, Omar Rodriguez had an infield single, and Vinny Willard and Kikuo Kawase had scoreless innings for the Rays highlights such as they were.
