TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: Who has won the All-Star game more, American League or National League?
A: National League. It has won it 42 times, while the American League has won it 38 times. There have been two ties.

THE MORNING BREW All-Star weekend a chance for KC to shine
To say that I'm obsessed with baseball is an understatement. Just ask anyone who knows me and they will probably tell you there isn't anyone out there who loves the game more than I do.
Every year, I look forward to All-Star weekend.
It's the only time during the season where everything that has happened on the field up to that point is irrelevant. It's the only time where the fans determine who starts. It's the only time during the season where the best players from all 30 teams put their respective teams aside and play together. Sure, there's home field advantage for the World Series at stake, but apart from that, this game is not a competition.
Why?
For the fans, it's a chance to see some of the most talented players in the league take the same field, wear the same uniform, play for the same team.
For the players, it's a time to relax from the everyday grind that comes with the 162-game season, a time to interact with fans, and a chance for fans to sit with a camera in one hand and their kids beside them.
But this year will be even more special than years past. This year, All-Star weekend will be taking place at our very own Kauffman Stadium. Of course I'm looking forward to the Homerun Derby, the Celebrity Softball game, and the All-Star game, but above that, there's an even bigger reason why this
weekend will be special. It will be a chance for baseball fans from around the country to see what makes not only Kauffman Stadium so special, but what makes Kansas City special. Why, win or lose, fans continue to take pride in their Royals, and why win or lose, they'll always have fans at the ballpark. Most of us have been the ballpark, but I think we sometimes take for granted how beautiful Kauffman Stadium is.
I've been fortunate to visit quite a few ballparks, and having had season tickets to the Tampa Bay Rays Tropicana Field, it really made me appreciate what a great ballpark we have in Kansas City. Regardless of the outcome of the game, there's always been a great fan base, something that a team like Tampa has never had.
July 6 to 10, Kansas City will welcome fans from every team across the league, both the National and American Leagues. After they feast on some
famous Kansas City barbeque, they can head over to the stadium and soak in the amazing atmosphere that we have been spoiled with all these years. From the freshly cut grass to the fountains in the outfield to the post-game fireworks to the huge, high-definition screen, not much beats watching a ballgame at Kauffman.
Oh, one last thing: Does anyone have an extra ticket?
