All Star lineups, with Longoria 7th and other things

AL president Jackie Autry (former Angels owner) gives glowing intro of Joe Maddon (former Angels coach) and ends by pointing out he got married and is now "forbidden fruit."


Maddon has some fun, too. Revealing his lineup by saying Ichiro, and then using first names for rest of players - Derek, Joe, etc.

For AL
Suzuki, rf
Jeter, ss
Mauer, c
Teixeira, 1b
Bay, lf
Hamilton, cf
Longoria, 3b
Hill, 2b
Halladay, p

Maddon considered Longoria fifth but opted to do it other way.

Roy Halladay will start for AL, Tim Lincecum for NL.

NL lineup:
Ramirez, ss
Utley, 2b
Pujols, 1b
Braun, rf
Ibanez, lf
Wright, 3b
Victorino, cf
Molina, c
Lincecum, p
