**************** CFOD 1996 ALL-STAR GAME ***************** FROM SOMEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA -- The '96 edition of the all-star game was a pitcher's duel, to say the least. TOP OF 1ST -- In a sign of how the game would go ... Glavine pitching .. Kenny Lofton, the first batter of the game .. Kenny Lofton, the first strikeout. Chuck Knoblauch, the second batter of the game .. the first flyout .. Barry Bonds .. second K .. you get the idea. Repeat ad infinitum for all of the MK starting pitchers, until .. BOTTOM OF THE 6TH -- Ken Griffey, Jr. decides enough is enough, and takes matters into his own hands .. Ricky Bottalico offers up a fastball .. and Griffey takes it downtown. 1-0 RY lead. The pitching settled down again, until .. BOTTOM OF THE 8th -- Frank Thomas, the last batter to enter the game. He only gets one at bat .. and he makes it count. Against the top reliever in the league, Mariano Rivera, Thomas shoots one out the park in a hurry. The score later becomes a final of 2-0 in favor of the Ruth/Young All-Stars. MOST VALUABLE PLAYER -- 1st runner up -- Tie -- Tom Glavine, Coneheads, RY and Roger Clemens, Regulators, MK. Glavine pitched 2 innings, with 1 hit and 3 K's, while Clemens pitched 2 innings, gave up 2 hits and struck out 3. MVP -- Ken Griffey Jr, Whaleheads, RY. In this contest, one run would have been enough, and Griffey delivered. Griffey wound up going 2-2 with a solo homer.
