Rise and Phight: 7/14/2021

J.T. Realmuto homered last night in the All-Star Game, the first Phillies player to hit one in the event since Mike Schmidt.

The Phillies’ 40-year ASG HR drought is over!

Realmuto’s homer is the first by a Phillies all-star since Schmidt in 1981. @TheGoodPhight— schmenkman (@tgpschmenk) July 14, 2021

Pretty entertaining game. The best thing about the entire telecast was MLB clearly pushing the young stars that are taking over the game. Ohtani, Tatis, Vladito were all prominently featured and with good reason.
