    I was there! 😎 How time flies! Basically 2 decades ago. Was 21, now am 40 years old. This is a real treat to be able to go back, and watch again. Thanks to the internet. And thanks to MLB! It's almost surreal now, realizing what a truly historic All-Star game this was. Ichiro and Pujols were rookies, Cal Ripken Jr. was finishing out his career, Randy Johnson and Clemens were pitching, Tony Gwynn, Larry Walker, Barry Bonds, Chipper Jones....so many big names. It FELT historic at the time, but it also was so laid back. I remember it was a beautiful summer day, not too hot but just right, absolutely perfect baseball weather, with the slightest ocean breeze blowing refreshing coolness every now and then, and bringing the smell of delicious foods you could buy at the game. ☺ If I had a time machine I'd probably go right back to this game right now. 😄 It was the highlight of the year and one of the coolest things for me in 2001. And probably the best MLB game I ever attended, out of dozens in Seattle from the mid 90's to early 2000's before work, jobs, and commuting relegated me to many years of watching games only on TV here and there. (I've lived about 90 miles north of Seattle most of my life, and still do, so it's a long drive to go to games.) This was a legendary game! Good times, and good memories. 😊

    2001 before the Towers came down. That feels like a dream him from an alternate universe.

    This was my first full season listening to and watching MLB as an 11 year old. What great stories that season and the most exciting and competitive WS Yankees vs Diamondbacks. Also that season defined by Bond's setting single season Hr record, the 116 win Mariners, and 9-11

    I feel like in 2023 when Seattle hosts the All Star game again, we'll be seeing something similar to the 2001 season but maybe better.

    2 months 1 day before the world changed forever. Crazy to look around and see no enhanced security or anything.

    For those that prefer to skip any of the beginning: 10:00: player/coaches intros, 28:55: all stars hit the field 31:40: first batter steps to the plate, first pitch comin right up!

    The steroid era was the best era. So exciting. Nobody can deny it.

    I remember Mike Hampton being a good hitter when I was a kid but I didn’t realize just now damn good he was. During his 5 consecutive silver slugger seasons 99 - 03, his triple slash was .283/.321/.434. 12 HR and 47 RBI in 350 official AB. While I get Ohtani has taken it to the next level, this is still amazing offensive production from a pitcher.

    I will never know why most of the world don't have baseball as a major sport. In my opinion, it is much better than soccer.

    If I Ichiro isn’t a first ballet hall of famer we will riot!
