St. Louis is having the All-Star game for the first time since 1966.

During the 1966 game, it was 107 degrees outside and 134 degrees on the Astro Turf. When the players came off the field, they were putting their feet on ice.

There are festivities today and a parade tomorrow. Sheryl Crow is singing. Pujols is catching Obama's ceremonial first pitch.

Needless to say, some highways will be closed tomorrow.

It's All-Star week here.

Who do you think is going to win? The National League or the American League?

Who cares? NHL Rules K;let's go but we aware that I am going prepared w/ balloons.How are U at ducking,bobbing & weaving? Duck!! See I told U.Woo-Hoo!wet tee-shirt contest.

Cardinal baseball fan here.

Remember that game. They put air conditioning in the dugouts after the game. Believe it was also the last All Star game that was played during the day.

Interesting. I didn't know that.

AL's going to win so the Sox can have home field advantage in the World Series! Not that it matters, we'll still take it all in the end either way. I HAVE to say that...it's genetic.

I just want to see a good ballgame and hope Tim Wakefield gets a chance to pitch. Obviously I'm prejudiced but even other baseball fans must admit, he deserves to be there after all these years of stumping everyone with his knuckleball. Agree or not?

So...we have one person for the American League.

Well, at least there's something we can agree on, Winx!

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

[Chorus:]
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored

[Repeat Chorus 2x]

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

im an american league guy but im rooting for the nl this year they are do

I'm rooting for the National League.

Nawww...we agree on more then that.

Yay, Cardinals.

How nice to see Stan "The Man" again. Enjoyed watching him play. Not to mention Lou Brook, Bob Gibbon, and the rest. Watched my first pro game at the 1st Busch Stadium (Sportsman Park). Oh the memories of St. Louis Baseball...the voice of Harry Carry and Jack Buck calling the games.

I ate at the Stan Musial restaurant before it closed. It was one of the nicer restaurants.

My Aunt used to date Bob Gibson many years ago. I met the whole Cardinals team then. My family and I had dinner with them. They gave me an autographed ball.

OMG...when was that? Remember when "Gibby's" leg got broken by a line drive and he was out for awhile. His wife smoked and said she couldn't wait for him to start playing again because she was tired of "sneaking" cigs.

When did Stan & Biggie's close? I've been away too long.

I don't remember when. I was a little girl. I gave the autographed ball to my brother when I got older.

One of my Aunt's owned a condo in west county. Gibson lived there too.

I went to Stan & Biggie's when they were on Oakland. I can't remember when they closed. It's been awhile.

I went to Ozzie's in West Port Plaza a couple of years ago.

AL wins 4-3! Papelbon gets the win, Mariano Rivera the save. Carl Crawford makes a game saving catch in the seventh snagging one that would have been a go ahead homerun, takes the MVP award.

Yes, the WHITE Sox will get home-field advantage this year, not the RED Sox.. Although they're my #2 team.

in 2012 all-star game going to be in KC
