The NBA unveiled their All-Star Game uniforms yesterday and it’s awful. Now, I know that the game was moved from Charlotte to New Orleans so maybe they had to come up with new uniforms for the game. Still, a slate gray vs a light gray uniform set? Come on! I don’t like that these look […]

APNewsBreak: Baseball’s All-Star Game no longer to determine World Series home-field advantage. https://t.co/WHNiErncmu — AP Sports (@AP_Sports) December 1, 2016 Hooray! After that tie in 2002, they decided to make the league care by making the winning league the recipients of home-field advantage in the World Series. The idea sounded cool when it was first […]

NBA Reportedly “On Brink” of Moving 2017 All-Star Game Out of Charlotte https://t.co/skV86zD9Jn — The Big Lead (@thebiglead) July 21, 2016 As America evolves into a country that is opening up and accepting LGBT as a societal norm, there is still a lot that needs to be done. Big corporations have to make a conscious […]

The Padres, who put themselves in a situation to create this gray jersey, may have one of the best jerseys in MLB. pic.twitter.com/rACcUDtybm — Samuel Lam (@SamuelYLam) July 13, 2016 Since the San Diego Padres were hosting the All-Star Game, the team announced before the season they would wear special home jerseys and caps to […]

This is some deep-level “get off my lawn” talk from me right now. Major League Baseball wants to commemorate all special events with new uniforms. With that money cash grab attempt (with some proceeds going to charity), we have these new uniforms for this season. Chris Creamer from SportsLogos.net has a great recap of everything. […]

My friend called last night’s dunk contest the best since Vince Carter. He even thought about calling it better than Carter’s. The spirit of the dunk contest is between two great athletes trying to outduel one another. Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine gave us that. I think Gordon was better but let’s just celebrate what […]

The only time the All-Star Game’s home run derby was canceled due to weather was in 1988 in Cincinnati. This year, the midsummer classic is in Cincinnati again and there is a chance it might be canceled again. This doesn’t look good for the derby as the weather looks to be very serious and the chances […]

EDIT: Pillbox hats that hit social media last night, while cool, are NOT the hats players will wear in MLB All Star Game pic.twitter.com/oldJd9aVjZ — Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) May 15, 2015 Apparently they are just concepts. So whoever created this did it pretty well to the point where all media picked up on it and […]

Getting high tech at @TheGarden! #NBAAllStarNYC https://t.co/YVQF7tybK2 — NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) February 16, 2015 I know the recent trend in the NBA is to have the designs on the court be very bare. Even last year’s All-Star game was pretty colorless. The key was not colored and the only thing that had any color […]

After watching last night’s NBA All-Star weekend festivities, there were two thoughts that came to my mind. My first thought was the three-point contest. The star power and the hype was met in my opinion. We got to see a great first round and a great battle between teammates Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Former […]

Presenting the #FootLockerThree Point Contest Field at #NBAAllStarNYC! pic.twitter.com/z9q8piE3hM — NBA (@NBA) February 6, 2015 Look at this lineup. The defending champion is back in it. Kyle Korver. Stephen Curry. Klay Thompson. Wesley Matthews. James Harden. J.J. Redick. Kyrie Irving. This is a very impressive lineup. These are all great shooters and I think there […]

All-Star weather, All-Star ballpark, All-Star Game. @Padres to host #ASG in 2016: http://t.co/ERfMFKGm4M pic.twitter.com/CsDzwjFyxX — MLB (@MLB) January 15, 2015 When the Giants hosted the All-Star Game in 2007, I was living in New York at the time.

It is a shocker as it is quite simple, sleeve-free and features some […]

Aside from the announcing team, this looks to be a great derby. Jose Bautista can launch them. Former champ Justin Morneau is in it. Yoenis Cespedes is here to defend his title. Tulowitzki and Donaldson both are studs. Puig will be exciting. Giancarlo Stanton might be the best out of the bunch. Lots of star […]

Harrison Barnes will represent the West. There are new rules to the dunk contest this year in an attempt to spice it up with an East vs West approach. Here are the rules via USA Today: For the first time, the dunk contest participants will be split into two teams: East (Terrence Ross, Paul George […]

Fan voting is stupid. Kobe Bryant is not an all-star because he barely played this year. It’s logic. Fan voting, however, doesn’t allow logic to shine.

Mariano Rivera salutes the crowd. Mariano Rivera had a great show at the All-Star Game. He had a 1-2-3 inning in his final All-Star Game appearance. He won the Game MVP and the crowd gave him a tremendous standing ovation when he entered and exited the game. It was beautiful. The only thing different about […]

The final swing and the big bat flip. Yoenis Cespedes of the Oakland A’s wins the home run derby with a show. He blasted 32 bombs en route to the title (and give the A’s fans discounted tickets). He’s the first player not on the All-Star team to win it. A relative unknown to most […]
