“And don’t be fooled. Don’t ever be fooled by anyone that might tell you that Pittsburgh is not a great baseball city. It is one of the best baseball cities in the United States of America.”
Former Pirate Pitcher and current Announcer Steve Blass at the Forbes Field Dedication ceremony.
“The highlight of the summer is the All-Star Game. This is a dream team.”
Boston Red Sox Second Baseman Mark Loretta
“Anyone who says they don’t want to be an All-Star is lieing to you.”
Yankee Shortstop Derek Jeter
“It’s time to celebrate the game, to take a break to watch the game. You go out and enjoy this wonderful game.”
Los Angeles Dodger Nomar Garciaparra
“The connection with the past is so special-Parker, Madlock, Fingers, Ozzie Smith. The celebrity softball game brought that back. I don’t want to forget. That’s the special quality of baseball. You can always find a historical connection.”
Gary Carter
“It’s a thrill. It’s my 7th one. Anyone who isn’t here is really missing it and will regret it 20 years from now. It’s my greatest thrill since 1979.”
Chuck Tanner
“It’s an honor and a privilege,”
Toronto outfielder Vernon Wells
“It was quite a special week for our fair city to play host to Major League Baseball’s Mid-Summer Classic,”
Former Cleveland Indian pitcher Tom McGough
“PNC Park was a jewel! From incredible decorations, memorabilia from baseball’s history to a spectacularly appointed field, that little ballpark in Pittsburgh shown brightly.”
Mark Sampson, Taco Bell Executive
“All in all, I would say that presidential inaugurations have less fanfare than the All-Star Game.”
PNC Park Usher Bob Ferguson
