Tuesday night’s 80th All-Star Game will feature seven of New York’s finest baseball players.
Third baseman David Wright and pitchers Francisco Rodriguez and Johan Santana were selected to represent the Mets for the NL All-Star team
Carlos Beltran, who was supposed to start in center field, will not suit up due to his injured right knee.
The Yankees will send short-stop captain Derek Jeter, first baseman Mark Teixeira, and pitcher Mariano Rivera to play for the AL all-stars.
While Jeter and Rivera will both be playing in their 10th All-Star Game as Yankees, Mark Teixeira will be making his first all-star start representing the Yankees.
This is Teixeira’s second time being voted in as an all-star. His first was in 2005 as a Texas Ranger. He went 1–3 with a home run that year.
He also participated in the Home Run Derby that year, but only hit two out of the park in the first round, and did not make it into the second round. He did not participate in this year’s Home Run Derby.
