Jesse Barfield of the Blue Jays won the Home Run Derby.

````````

Not what I wanted to do in the All-Star Game.

We were playing in Shea this year and in the 1st I made a throwing error on what should have been a groundout by Jose Canseco.
It didn't cost us but we were trailing 1-0 when I led off for the NL.

David Cone of Oakland was starting for the AL.
He walked me on four pitches.
Stolen base.
I took 3rd on a groundout by Kent Hrbek.
I scored on a Jim Thome single.

I came up in the 2nd with one out and the bases loaded (Kevin Mitchell, Will Clark, Eric Davis). Ken Hill (also of Oakland) was pitching.
I struck out.

I was replaced in the 4th, as expected.

The AL won, 7-2.

Ellis Burks of the Twins was named MVP.

When we come back from the break we will be playing in St. Louis.
