Welcome to the Pitch Clock. Here's the pitch. A two-part baseball segment combining a nostalgic baseball trivia game and an interview with an expert. This is the Pitch Clock. The pitch clock is back. It's time to dive into Major League Baseball. And folks, we are just after the MLB All-Star Game, which means the second half of Major League Baseball is coming up. You're going to get some expertise on what happened in the Home Run Derby and All-Star Game as we move forward in this baseball season. But as always... some trivia to get to i believe i hold the two game lead we'll check back in we'll know those numbers for sure next week but possibly now at the moment what i do know is that i'm feeling good about my chances and ethan we actually have folders in front of us today so what trivia do we have going on today all right the all-star game is going to wrigley field next season for the first time in what will be 37 years so last time the all-star game i
would love to go. There's no place better than Wrigley Field. All right, so we're going. Yeah, we're going in the All-Star Game next year. Carl, we're going. Yes. Approved. That'll be the first time in 37 years that the All-Star Game was held at Wrigley Field because the last time it was held was 1990. So inside your folders, you have two baseball diamonds, one with a National League logo and one with an American League logo. These are the starting lineups from the 1990 All-Star game held at Wrigley Field. What about my wheelhouse is 05?
Do you not understand? I just want everyone to see it and I hope Gabe will leave it in the edit. We just had some phone-ception where Olivia's phone just like went into the screen and you could see through that and I just want to make sure that stays in the edit.
So what we're going to do is we're going to do first to seven. And if neither of you get seven, once we've guessed the entire roster, whoever has the most will be the winner. Not three strikes and you're out like we normally do with teams.
Let's change it up a little bit. I'm going to go ahead and take, in the American League, Orioles shortstop, Cal Ripken Jr. That is correct. Jeremy, you have one point. And just to set this up for the audio audience, while Chris has a moment to think, in the American League, you had Oakland Athletics on the mound at first base in right field and in left field. You had the Cleveland baseball franchise behind the dish, a Red Sox third baseman, Kyle Ripken Jr., we just mentioned was at short, and a New York Yankees second baseman, as well as a Seattle Mariners center fielder. And in the National League, Reds had a pitcher in third baseman, Dodgers catcher, Giants first baseman, Cubs second baseman, shortstop for the Cardinals, Giants in left field, Phillies in center field, and Cubs in right.
This is the year 1990. Chris? Shortstop, Cardinals, Ozzie Smith. That is correct, sir. I'll go ahead and wrap up that middle infield. It's Ryan Sandberg playing second base. Ryan, rest in peace. Mariners, center field, Griffey. That is correct. I'm gonna go I'm gonna go Giants first baseman is that will Clark that is correct my dad's favorite player of all time Shout out Ethan's dad They can say go right fear right field right field for the American. Yes All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna take a risk here. Yeah I'm gonna say it is McGuire over at first base course for correct. Yeah, that's correct Jeremy.
I
And this is about where Chris runs out of names. It's also where Jeremy runs out of names. Very excited to introduce a new guest to the Pitch Clock, but a name and a face that many of you likely know here, Stephen Nelson. He does play-by-play for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He's also an NBA TV host, and he's here on the Pitch Clock to join us in what's a really exciting week in Major League Baseball because we just had the Derby and the All-Star Game, and we've got baseball picking back up this weekend. So, Stephen, I want to start with the stuff first. from this week first we'll do the derby since it came first and and honestly like what a joy to watch this one barry bonds actually called it the greatest home run derby he's ever seen um so because of all of the drama and everything coming down to the final second i ask you where does this one rank for you when you think about some of the great home run derbies of all time
