With the All Star break meaning that there are no other Major League games on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I’ll be postponing my weekly guide to the week’s games until Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n
However, MLB.com is serving up an All Star package of live multimedia content.\u00c2\u00a0 The Futures game and the Celebrity Softball game were broadcast live yesterday evening.\u00c2\u00a0 That leaves us with the following:<\/p>\n
Monday 14th<\/strong> – First up we have the All Star batting practice session, which might be worth watching for a little while especially if you’ve never seen batting practice before and are curious as to what exactly the hitters work on.\u00c2\u00a0 The AL take their batting practice at 22.30 (BST) and the NL at 23.35.\u00c2\u00a0 Then there is the Home Run derby which begins at 01.00 on Tuesday morning over here.\u00c2\u00a0 Personally I find the whole contest gets a bit boring and at such an early hour, I’m not sure I’d be able to keep awake.\u00c2\u00a0 No doubt there will be a highlights package to enjoy after the event.<\/p>\n Tuesday 15th<\/strong> – We start with the Red Carpet show which is scheduled to run between 18.00 and 20.00 BST.\u00c2\u00a0 Lots of legends have been lined up to be part of the parade.\u00c2\u00a0 Finally we have the actual All Star game, coverage of which begins at 01.00 on Wednesday morning.\u00c2\u00a0 Most British fans, including myself, will be watching the coverage on Five instead though.<\/p>\n
