All-Star Baseball

We absolutely loved All-Star Baseball. It was much better than Strat-o-matic in our opinion. We couldn't get enough.

"What are you still doing up?"

"It's the 12th inning"

"Go to bed already"

"We'll be done soon"

Oh how many times that snippet of conversation was repeated over the years. It's amazing we never suffered an elbow or finger injury from all the times we hit that spinner.

The All-Star game will also be returning to the Bronx this summer for the first time since 1977. And you better be ready to spend a small fortune if you want to take part.

MLB has set up a registration for the chance to buy tickets to the game, home run derby, and futures game. The registration period started yesterday and runs through June 15.

Home Run Derby tickets range from $100 (bleachers) to $650 for premium box seats. The Futures game can run you anywhere from will run $50 - $225, and the big game itself will cost you from $150 (bleachers) to $725 for the boxes. First born child need not be included. This of course does not include food, transportation, and merchandise.
