2017 BASEBALL ALL-STAR GAME
July 11, 2017  | By David Bianculli

Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Let’s hear it for the “old guys.” In tonight’s Baseball All-Star Game, the starting pitcher for the National League is Max Scherzer, whose stat of a 10-5 midseason record and 2.10 ERA is less impressive, to me, than the fact that he’s about to turn 33 – making him the oldest player to start in tonight’s game. Not just the oldest pitcher. The oldest player. But tonight’s game showcases other ages, too, from all-round talent Bryce Harper to amazing rookie talent Aaron Judge, the Yankees phenom who already has 30 home runs for the season. The game is broadcast live from Marlins Park in Miami, so it’ll be warm enough. Wet, maybe, but warm.
