All-Star madness is less than three weeks away. I see on mlb.com that Fergie Jenkins, former Cub and member of the Hall of Fame, will manage the “World” team for the Futures Game on Sunday July 9th. Jenkins lives in the Phoenix area and shows up at many Diamondbacks games; here’s a shot of him in the stands at a recent game.

As if losing 12 of the last 13 games wasn't bad enough for the Diamondbacks, here's a lame
between-the-innings Chase Field promotion called "Dancing on the Dugout" that gives
new meaning to "seemed like a good idea at the time." If they did this in my hometown,
the fans would have either booed these mascots off the field or pelted them with
rotten vegetables.
