All-Star rocker Bon Jovi will be performing a free concert at New York’s Central Park on July 12th at 8PM to kick off Major League Baseball’s 2008 All-Star game celebrations taking place at Yankee Stadium on July 15th.
“All-Star Summer is set to hit New York City in a few weeks, and the lineup of festivities just added another future Hall-of-Famer in Bon Jovi,” said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
“The free concert in Central Park is going to help make this year’s All-Star Summer a celebration to remember. The 2008 All-Star Game will pay tribute to the storied history of Yankee Stadium, and Bon Jovi will help us ensure it goes out in a blaze of glory — hopefully a blaze in late October.”
If CNBC can project presidential primary winners with only 3-percent of the vote totals in, then we can also take advantage of mathematical impossibility. Thanks to the updated vote tallies released, we can announce the position players who will appear in the 2008 MLB All-Star game taking place at Yankee Stadium on July 15th.

In 1999 John Hamilton was the first pick of the Major League Baseball draft. The “Golden Boy” as he was dubbed, was a “5-Tool” power hitting outfielder with a rocket arm that consistently registered 96 MPH on the radar gun. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays drafted Hamilton 1st that year and gave the promising high school senior a 3.96 million dollar signing bonus.
Flash forward to 2005. Hamilton has been out of baseball for 3 years and hit rock bottom. He acquired a nasty drug habit that completely drained his bank account to the point where, “the check he made out to a crack dealer bounced and he had to ask his father-in-law to go and give the dealer $2,000 cash.” His 6′4” 230lb frame diminished to a skinny 180 lbs. and became covered with over 25 regrettable tattoos.
Now it’s 2008 and Josh Hamilton is back from the dead sitting at the top of the MLB All-Star ballot and is a legit threat to baseball’s Triple Crown, leading the American League in batting average, home runs and RBIs.
Hamilton’s compelling journey is the type of story from which Hollywood movies are made and it’s chronicled in this week’s Sports Illustrated, a must read for any sports fan.

Major League Baseball Commissioner Bug Selig has cracked the whip on amateur baseball teams across the country for infringing on MLB’s trademarked team names.
First, Mr. Selig went after the Cape Cod League, specifically the Chatham “A’s,” Hyannis “Mets,” Orleans “Cardinals,” Yarmouth-Dennis “Red Sox” and others requesting that “share revenue derived from the sale of merchandise bearing their names such as the for having team names based on Major League clubs.”
Now in a similar situation, Scrooge Selig has declared war on 12-year-olds across America, sending the infringement police to Little League baseball, ordering teams to change their names or face lawsuits.
Check out Barstool Sports for the details, and the sad, sad video that shows us exactly why Bud Selig may be killing Little League Baseball.
Every calendar year sports titles roll out their latest entries, mostly consisting of updated rosters, one new gameplay feature (that gets nixed the following year) and slight tweaks in the graphic department (high-resolution goatees).
2K Sports, the company that handles MLB exclusively, is well aware of this, and has reevaluated their franchise, rebuilding it from the ground up.
I recently played a test demo of the upcoming Major League Baseball 2K8, scheduled for release next Tuesday - and the changes this year are more than cosmetic.
For starters, the gameplay that was marred with inconsistencies last year (shoddy errors and bugs galore) has been completely revamped. Most controls, whether pitching, fielding or batting, utilize the right analog stick this time around (I played the XBox 360 version; the PS3 uses the same control scheme).
For pitching, buttons have gone by the wayside, with different combinations of analog stick movement determining what pitch you throw and how accurate; batting controls require a back-and-forth upswing to make contact. Throwing to each base is also done with the analog control. Read More »
It has been 2 weeks since George Mitchell released his scathing report that accused Roger Clemens (and many others) of juicing. Today, “The Rocket” speaks.
