Mac was representing the Red Sox with his buddy Drew on the East team.
(The roster from the website)
Before the game started, they announced each player, gave them an All Stars cap and played the national anthem. We played at one of the nice fields with a working scoreboard and a game announcer. So much fun!
Mac played first base, shortstop and third base during the game. He had some great plays and made Jimmy and me so proud.
At the beginning, it looked like the East was going to crush the West, but that was not the case. The West came back and required that the East dig deep and put some runs on the board. In the end, the East won, 11-10.
Mac's classmate from the Orioles made the game-ending out with a great catch at first base. The boys were so excited and spontaneously ran into a team huddle to celebrate. It was so much fun to watch these great players play a really well-played and close game.
Mac and his winning teammates each received a little gift bag from PF Chang's. Each gift bag contained a fortune cookie AND a $20 gift card. This seems so extravagant to Jimmy and me but we chalked it up to "only in Arlington." 
We're proud of our All Star and are already signed up for Fall baseball!
