The season 22 game saw a lot of plyers being used and lots of runs scored by the American Leaguers. Joel Crawford got the start and pitched a perfect first inning before his NL mates lit up AL starter Ozzie Suzuki for 4 runs in the first.
The Americans plated two runs in their half of the second inning off the NL pitcher leading the league in BA against, Jackie Creek. One more run in the bottom of the second helped the NL hold on to the lead. The third inning showcased pitching with no runs being scored.
And then the AL bats came alive with 12 unanswered runs through the remaining six innings. MVP Omar Estralla lead the hit parade with a 2-run single and a 3-run home run enroute to best in this game honors.
All in all the fans got to see many of their favorite stars play in the midsummer classic and after the rest it is time to return to the chase for the playoffs. Congratulations to all the players who made the All Star team.

500 Home Run Club
Going to start our milestone page with the power hitters because, Chicks dig the long ball! We had something of an affensive explosion in the early seasons and thus have a large number of player who have achieved this standard, so much so that 600 is almost the new 500 for Fiz World. Anyway, here are the guys who thrilled fans with towering drives that cleared the bases.

Milestones
With 21 seasons completed the time has come to start assembling the lists of those players who have reached the milestones of 3000 hits, 500 HR, 200 wins, and 300 saves. If you want to see more added to this list please let me know and I will start the research. My thoughts are to possibly add SB, runs and strikeouts but I might also celebrate futility with most strikeouts by a batter, walks by a pitcher, etc. These will be career stats for now but I will also look into our single season records so we can start the stat watch for those as well should the need arise.

Stat Watch
Looks like Roy Long has found his way to a major league roster with the SLC Beach Bums. Working as the mop up pitcher Long is trying to become the first 300 game winner in the history of FizWorld. Good luck Roy.....
First Pitch
Decided we could use a place to share information, talk about the league and generally enhance the experience of our owners. So hear we are at FizWorld News ready to take this world to the next level. My hope is to have something weekly but please bear with me if that doesn't always happen.
