July 15 on ESPN is the Derby in New York City, Shea Stadium (been there).
I saw Randy Johnson dominate the Mets http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN200408150.shtml in 8 and 1/3 innings with no runs, one walk, 5 hits, and 14 K’s while I was wearing my Johnson jersey.
I remember him striking out the side swinging in the 6th and Mets first basemen Todd Zeile jawing at him as Big Unit sent him to the dug out. Amazing.
Voting to decide 17 starters ends at 11:59 p.m. ET on the Fourth of July, with the 84th Midsummer Classic coming on July 16 at Citi Field.
