The Midsummer Classic is hitting Philadelphia tonight, and get this: the Boston Red Sox are sending three guys despite how their season has been going! Ceddanne Rafaela, Willson Contreras, and Aroldis Chapman are all repping the team at Citizens Bank Park. It's kinda wild, right?
The All-Star Crew and Who's Missing Out
So yeah, Rafaela, Contreras, and Chapman are there for the photoshoots today in Philly, ready to hit the field. But here's the kicker: Ranger Suarez was also named an All-Star! Only problem is, he's not actually playing because of an injury. Bummer, but still, four All-Stars for a team that's apparently had a "crazy" season? That's something to talk about.Wildest All-Star Moments We're Manifesting
Tonight's first pitch is some time after 8 PM ET on FOX, and who knows what pregame shenanigans they have planned. But personally, I'm hoping for some absolute must-see TV. Wouldn't it be hilarious if Willson Contreras got beaned, but in a totally harmless way? And Ceddanne Rafaela, man, if he makes a diving catch tonight, that's how you introduce yourself to every single fan watching, right? It'd be sick. Also, seriously, has a suspended player ever been in the All-Star Game? Just wondering! The game is on! Philly's hosting the party after America's 250th birthday, and we've got a lot to tune into with this Red Sox crew. Let's see what kind of fireworks these guys bring to the Midsummer Classic!This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff.
