"ST. LOUIS -- Of all the things the stars of Major League Baseball had to have taken away from their meeting with President Barack Obama prior to the 80th All-Star Game on Tuesday, it's this:

The leader of the free world definitely does his homework when it comes to hardball."

20. From the article in Cha's link:

My idea, when I saw him, was to say, 'What's up?' to him," Ichiro said through interpreter Ken Barron. "But I got nervous. You know, he has that kind of aura about him. So I got nervous and I didn't say that to him. I was a little disappointed about that."

15. Say hey, Willie!

That pic is really poignant.

[Brother Buzz]

16. That's the happiest I've seen Willie in thirty, maybe forty years

[cboy4]

18. Wow! This is remarkable news! You know, that Willie Mays is the very happiest

he's been dating four decades all the way back to the civil rights victory era in the 1960's!!! :wow:

Not even as happy when his God Son Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's all-time home run mark, thus becoming Major League Baseball's home run king a few years ago?! :wow:

What a revelation indeed about one of my sports heroes!!

17. BARF. With a capital B.

Can't even have an All-Star game without a politician trying to steal the thunder of players who are having tremendous years.
