The 1998 OOSL All-Star Break is here. The 100 game mark has been reached, pennant races are in full swing, players are assaulting the record books, a season of trades are behind us -- and the Home Stretch is in front of us. But not before a short respite from the seriousness of the flag chase. The best of the best will compete in an OOSL tradition, the All-Star Series and Home Run Derby.
The All-Star Series is an innovation of the OOSL. Rather than have a mid-season game and give the stars an at-bat or two to shine, we block out 15 days in the schedule during the month of July and have a full blown, best-of-seven game All-Star Series.
The National League will host this year's series (Games 1, 2, 6, 7) and has chosen Sportsman's Park, home of the St. Louis Cardinals, to play out of. The American League, which will host the Home Run Derby, has selected Shibe Park, home of the Philadelphia Athletics, to call home. It should be a great series! Can the Americans bounce back from the embarrassing sweep of last year?
Accompanying the All-Star Series is a unique Home Run Derby contest, with rules created specifically by the OOSL. The Home Run Derby is conducted prior to the fourth game of the series. When picking the All-Star reserves the League Manager must also assign six All-Stars to represent the league in the Home Run Derby. Each batter gets ten outs before his home run hitting attempts are over. Both an individual and a team Home Run Champion are crowned.
