The Brewers will be represented by four players in the All-Star Game for the first time since 1983 when Ted Simmons, Robin Yount, Cecil Cooper and Ben Oglivie were All-Stars for the Crew. This year it's Ben Sheets, Francisco Cordero, Prince Fielder and J.J. Hardy representing the Brewers in San Francisco. Fielder will be starting at first base for the NL.A's pitcher Dan Haren and Padres pitcher Jake Peavy will start for the American League and National League, respectively.
Home-field advantage in the World Series is on the line once again in the All-Star Game. The American League's unbeaten streak in the All-Star Game stands at ten after their win last year in Pittsburgh. The National League last won an All-Star Game in 1996 at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia.
MLB also will begin its post season ad campaign during the All-Star Game with an interesting choice of comedian Dane Cook as the star of the commercials.
