What are we looking forward to for All Star Week?

Well, for me, it is the home run derby.

It's a field that doesn't have a whole lot of established stars, but there are some really talented young players and for me, Connor Henderson and Bobby Wood Junior, two of the best shortstops in the league already at age 23 and 24.

Potentially going head to head here at Globe Life.

That is gonna be awesome home run derby, obviously one of our favorite nights of the year.

But I am also especially excited for this year's All Star game.

I know it's just an exhibition, but with Paul Skeen starting and the kind of talent we could see him face at the beginning of that game.

That could be a very special, memorable All Star moment.

I think a lot of people are looking forward to that and I'll just say too the All Star game MVP.

It's as random as it gets and I am so excited to see who will emerge from the random number generator reality.

That is the All Star Game MVP and get to raise that trophy at the end of the night, you raise a good point though.

Like the best part about the All Star game is the match ups.

It's famous pitcher against famous hitter and with Paul Skene starting, we are guaranteed that the most electrifying person in the game right now is going to face Aaron Judge and Juan Soto.

That's the whole point of this event.

So we're looking forward to that all kinds of other fun matchups coming up in that All Star game.

That's what we can't wait for.

It's All Star Week here in Texas.
