All-Star Game heading north

It's been preliminarily announced that Yankee Stadium will host the MLB All-Star Game in 2008, to coincide with its closing that season.

It's probably a better choice than the bowels of Shea, and airplanes flying overhead.

By the look of the designs though, it may be a close call to see which new stadium will be nicer, the Yankees' or the Mets'.

It also means that we'll need to get started on a baseball tour with the kids so we can go back to them before they close. Well, it would be a return for me, but a first trip for everyone else. The only one Alex has been to is Turner Field - nowhere else yet.
