I admit it -- I get choked-up when they introduce the old-timers
at the All Star game.

Bob Feller looks great.

2. I did too, although there were many who should have been there
I was upset - but not surprised - that Boggs wore a Yankees cap. I was disappointed that neither Carl Yaztrzemski nor Carlton Fisk was there but maybe it was the Yankees' call to make on who got invited. (Maybe they just said no.)

I was always madly in lust with Jim Palmer. It was good to see him.

5. Can't top the two San Diego boys - greatest hitters of their generations - Williams & Gwynn together
I get moist-eyed just thinking about it.
