2008 MLB All-Star Break is Set
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
The stage is set for MLB baseball’s midsummer classic.
The 2008 MLB baseball season will be featuring their midseason All-Star break to showcase some of the best baseball players we have in the world today.
The 2008 MLB All-Star Weekend is always scheduled right in the middle of the baseball season to give back to the sports’ fans supporting the sport since day one.
So who got the invite?
The 2008 MLB All-Stars were named last Sunday and it was no surprise that four of the defending champions Boston Red Sox were selected for the American League All-Stars led by team captain Manny Ramirez.
Ramirez will be joined by Red Sox teammates David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis. However, as great as it would be seeing ‘Big Papi’ in action, Ortiz will be forced to miss the All-Star game with an injured wrist.
Red Sox rivals, the New York Yankees, also have their own stars selected to represent the American League. Yankees team captain Derek Jeter leads the Yankee All-Stars.
Joining Jeter in the American League All-Star team is slugger Alex Rodriguez and probably the best closer in baseball, Mariano Rivera.
For the National League All-Star team; Alfonso Soriano, Kosuke Fukudome and Geovany Soto will look to represent the Chicago Cubs proudly. They will be joined by Cubs teammates Kerry Wood, Ryan Dempster, Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Zambrano.
Also starting for the National League team…

For over 100 years, 
the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees have been chief rivals, compounded by their geographic proximity. Since the inception of the wild card team and an added Division Series, the rivals have squared off in the American League championship series three times, with the Yankees winning twice in 1999 and 2003 before 2004 saw Boston celebrating.
In addition to that, both teams have met each other in the last regular season series of a season to decide the title in numerous occasions. Boston won one in 1904 before the Yankees bounced back in 1949. The most recent one was back in 2005 when the Yankees won again to capture the pennant.
Since Boston’s defeat of the New York Yankees in the seven-game American League championship series back in 2004, the rivalry has become more intense than ever before.
In their previous meeting last April 17, the Red Sox won the game 7-5 after…
