American League Wins Again

This year's All-Star game featured very little offense, but there was no lack of great defensive plays.

The American League won the game 4-3 and has now one 12 of the last 13 All-Star games.

The MLB's All-Star game carries a lot more weight than any other All-Star game because the winning league gets home-field advantage in the World Series.

Even though home-field advantage is a nice asset to have, it's not the end of the world for the eventual National League team that represents in the World Series. Just look at the Phillies last season.

There was very little offense in the entire game, especially from the National League. They were only able to put up five hits during the course of the game.

The game's MVP didn't even have an RBI.

Carl Crawford of the Rays took home the MVP honors with a single and a great catch at the fence that robbed Brad Hawpe's home run which would've given the National League the lead.

What's amazing about Crawford's MVP honors is that he didn't have a single RBI in the game. That hasn't happened since 1968.

Overall, just another uneventful All-Star game for the MLB.
