2001 CFOD All-Star Game "The CFOD Lives!" Despite a longer than anticipated delay in the all-star game, the CFOD continues. This mid-season classic pitted the best that the Mantle/Koufax conference had versus the best of the Ruth/Young conference, all held at Enron Field, home of the Paxtang Pitbulls, who have the best record in the league. Springfield's Jose Vidro was the first person to reach base, when Paxtang's Brian Giles dropped the fly ball. The Regulators' Jason Giambi hit a grounder to Scott Rolen of the California Coneheads, who started up the double play ball .. if only the ball had not sailed into right field instead. MK runners at 1st & 3rd. Barry Bonds was up next, but Arizona's Roy Oswalt struck him out. Manny Ramirez of the Somerville Sluggers was up next, and was responsible for the game's first run, hitting a single to score Vidro from 3rd. 1-0 MK All-Stars in the 1st inning. In the 5th inning, Cincinnati's Carlos Beltran singled off of Russ Ortiez, Jose Video walked, and Jason Giambi walked, putting the bases loaded with 1 out. Up comes the Thunder's Norm Charlton to save the day. And the only person standing in his way is Mechan's Barry Bonds. Charlton must have been psyched out, as an errant ball sailed past Paul Lo Duca of the Brouhaha. Beltran tried to score from 3rd, but Loc Duca was able to throw the ball to Charlton in time for the 2nd out. After that traumatic experience, Barry Bonds got the walk to reload the bases. Up came Manny Ramirez, and Charlton's didn't fare much better. A "solid" wild pitch allowed Jose Vidro to score from 3rd, and the MK all-stars took a 2-0 lead. Charlton issued a walk to Manny Ramirez and wad done for the game. On came Jeff Zimmerman of the Piazza's to try and save the inning for the RY all-stars. Mercifully, Zimmerman got Phil Nevin of the Brewins to strike out, ending the inning. Amazingly, only 1 run was scored in this inning. In the 6th inning, the MK all-stars were more efficient. With Arizona's Jon Lieber on the mound, 2 on, and 2 out, Bernie Williams of the Springfield Isotopes smacked a 2-RBI triple. 4-0 MK. Joel Piniero of the Stingers came on the mound, and Bobby Abreu of the Angry Candy hit a sacrifice fly to make it 5 runs in MK's favor. Arizona's all-stars were certainly hit and miss this game! In the top of the 9th, Manny Ramirez rubbed salt into the wound, tagging California's Mariano Rivera for a solo shot. The Angry Candy's Troy Percival closed out the 9th, striking out 2 batters and getting Carolina's Ken Griffey Jr to fly out for the final out of the game. The MK all-stars had their mojo working in this game, defeating the RY all-stars by a 6-0 margin. ALL-STAR MVP: He drove in the game's first and last runs. Somerville Slugger outfielder Manny Ramirez gets the MVP nod, going 2 for 4 with a homer and 2 RBI. 7/7/2001, MK01-RY01, Enron Field 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E LOB DP 2001 MK All-Stars 1 0 0 0 1 3 0 0 1
