The first All-Star Game at colorful Marlins Park had its moments of drama and levity. Twice it involved Yadier Molina, the Cardinals' perennial All-Star catcher, who came off the bench and had his snapshot moments. They both occurred in the sixth inning.
In the top of the inning, Nelson Cruz came to bat with two outs, and provided a first -- asking Molina, who was in his catching crouched position, to take a photo. Cruz then posed with home-plate umpire Joe West, the longtime veteran who in June became the third umpire to be in 5,000 games.
