MINNEAPOLIS — The Major League Baseball All-Star Game was a change of pace for Albert Lea’s Sam Moyer.
He went from playing baseball for Albert Lea’s high school team this spring along with the VFW and Legion squads this summer to watching the best players the sport has to offer.
Moyer had the opportunity to take in many activities during All-Star week, a celebration that started with FanFest last Wednesday and culminated Tuesday night with the battle between the American and National Leagues for home field advantage in the World Series.
In addition to the game, Moyer said he attended FanFest and the home run derby.
“The whole thing has been unbelievable,” he said.
Moyer received passes through his uncle’s daughter’s husband, John Bullock, a Twins season-ticket holder who won the passes in a raffle. He was able to attend with his mother, Rita, and his father, Jeff.
