The Yankees’ Aaron Boone and Dodgers’ Dave Roberts should have the most fun at Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta. Unlike rookies to the MLB Jewel Event, these two managers have been there before and know what to expect.

As the All-Star break approaches, the New York Yankees will be wrapping up a three-game homestand in the Bronx this weekend with the visiting Chicago Cubs. Currently, the Yankees’ skipper is looking for his club to gain ground in the American League East. With four games remaining before the four-day schedule break starts on Monday, the Yankees trail first-place Toronto Blue Jays by 2.5 games.
