It was a historic weekend in Seattle as the Major League Baseball 2023 All-Star Game and its festivities took the city by storm.<\/p>\n
Many players were excited to be out in Seattle representing their team on the biggest stage in baseball.<\/p>\n
For George Kirby, “It’s been great. I couldn’t ask for a better situation with my first one being in Seattle. I’m really looking forward to meeting people and picking their brains and taking it all in.“<\/p>\n
The youth carry the game, and plenty are represented here in Seattle. In the all star game there are 33 first time all stars, the most ever. Corbin Burnes and Devin Williams from the Brewers have now both made multiple All-Star games and are one of the rare non-first timers. Burnes has seen Williams grow and blossom into one of the best closers in the game. “It was just the maturity that he’s gained from being around the game and being around guys like (Josh) Hader and some of the better guys being able to learn a lot about the game,” Burnes said.<\/p>\n
