Well, he's an all-timer, 18 years in the big, the World Series champ, a three-time All-Star and a two-time gold glove winner. Adam Wainwright, now part of Fox Sports Major League Baseball. It gets those Phillies fans all riled up. We'll get to that in a second. First of all, let's start. All-Star games. I talked to Jeter about this yesterday. Like, you know, they matter, but I think as a player, I'd go there and to be like, yeah, it kind of matters, but I kind of want to watch some of these guys. Like for you, you're over there with the Cardinals. You want to watch some guys you don't get

to see during the season. Do you have strong memories of the All-Star Games? Your appearances?

I do. I mean, and I think everyone remembers their first one more than anything.

And my first one, I was able to pitch that day, but I got to sit down in the bullpen

right next to Roy Halliday and Chris Carpenter and Tim Lensacom and just talk pitching for

nine innings.

And now, you know, now that the great Roy Halliday has passed, you know, you cherish those memories even more

and talking with one of the greatest pictures of all time about his routine and about his

planning and process and work ethic and all the things that I'd always heard about.

It was unbelievable to hear that out of his mouth and just sit there and talk.

And I think that's kind of my favorite memories about

the all-star game is shagging in the outfield and standing next to kershaw and bum gardener and

grinky and talking pitching with with some of the games greats those are the things you remember

the most yeah it's such a it's such a great sports spectacle uh i'll be watching tonight

it's the last all-star game that really, it just jumps off the television.

It's a really fun night.

I do want to talk about a team that you got riled up this week.
