Quotables:

"That was a great honor to represent yourself, your team, and your league and we had the presidents of the league would come in and give us a little pep talk before the game it was important to win the ball game just for the honor of the league and for representing ourselves and our team."
Harmon Killebrew on the importance of playing in the All-Star Game

"It's been incredible; it's just been a whirlwind thus far. We got in late last night; we had the espn game last night, and then flew up after the game. From the moment we've gotten here it's been a great experience, walking into the media room a few minutes ago and seeing my name up amongst all these other great names in the game it's unbelievable. I'm just flattered that my names even up there on the wall. I'm here to have a great time and experience, take it all in and make the most of it."
Chris Young on the roller coaster of being voted into the All-Star Game

"I don't know if it's the best system. I think I'd like to see it, whoever's got the better record why not just give them the home field advantage. But it's like you said, it gives them something to play for."
Grady Sizemore on All-Star Game and home field advantage
