On Sport and Society. 754. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/onsportandsociety/754 SPORT AND SOCIETY FOR H-ARETE The 2007 All-Star Game JULY 10, 2007 Baseball's All-Star Game is coming up tonight at the baseball facility formerly known as PNC Park, and the home of baseball's current leading villain, Barry Bonds. In a surprise to many, Bonds was voted to the National League starting line-up by the fans, who allegedly are disgusted by the poster boy for performance enhancement. The cheers tonight will be thunderous as Barry is introduced in the only ballpark where he remains a great hero, and even a beloved personage. The cheers will be even louder when baseball honors Willie Mays. These cheers will be echoed across the land for one of the greatest players in the history of the game.
