If you paid careful attention to last week’s scoresheet, you may note that 2000 marked the second time in three years that David Wells started the All-Star Game for the AL. In 1998, he was relieved by Roger Clemens, Brad Radke, and Bartolo Colon plus relievers; this time, he starting nod may be easier to grasp as he was relieved by James Baldwin, Aaron Sele, and Tim Hudson. Despite this unimpressive pitching staff, the AL bested the NL 6-3 in Atlanta when there wasn’t a bizarre civic religion that prevented such a thing. Derek Jeter was the star, going 3-3 and driving in the go-ahead runs (which stood up) off Al Leiter in the fourth.
