The skills competition was last night and tonight is the game.
The media came out and had fun showing off their skill (or lack of it). The weather was perfect, Shaw park looked gorgeous, everyone had smiles on their faces. It was a perfect night for baseball and another sign that Winnipeg does these things up right.
The players themselves looked at the thousands of people who came as the enthusiasm was infectious.
The American Association All-Star Game is a success even before the game begins and the weather continues to be amazing.
Good for the Goldeyes organization and team. Good for Winnipeg.
