MLB paid homage to the iconic fireworks scene from “The Sandlot” by recreating the masterpiece at Citizens Bank Park during the All-Star Game. The recreated spectacle started with the playing of Ray Charles’ famous “America the Beautiful” for the entire Philadelphia crowd before children in Phillies jerseys peeked through a gate in the fence along the right field foul line. The kids then came inside the ballpark and waved in several others who rode bicycles onto the field while fireworks shot off in the background.
An American flag was projected on screens throughout the stadium, and kids continued to make their way toward the middle of the infield before dropping their bikes.
Players from both teams stood side by side near their dugouts with what appeared to be sparklers, while select players, like Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh, stood with acting fans on the field.
The game itself was a bit of a snorer, with pitching dominating from both sides. The MVP of the game had one hit. One.
ZZZZZZZZZZ.
