TRB: Surprisingly little crowd buzz when they brought out The Boss on a golf cart. It just didn't work. They obviously were trying to dupliate the Ted Williams lovefest from the 1999 All-Star Game at Fenway Park, yet the crowd wasn't buying what they were selling.

I mean, Alfonso Soriano received a bigger applause than Steinbrenner. It wasn't even close.





Could it be that the crowd was rebelling against the Steinbrenner love, mindful of all the abuses he has heaped upon his employees over the years? I'd like to think so, but probably not.

Maybe there should have been more of a build-up? Perhaps a reel of clips from George's more boisterous days? Him holding a World Series trophy? In his Miller Lite commercial with Billy Martin?

I don't know, but certainly, that will not go down in history as the baseball powers envisioned it. Yeesh.
