|  | | Fans booed and threw debris after the All-Star Game was called. |
You win some, you lose some. And you tie some. The All-Star Game was called a 7-7 tie when the teams ran out of pitchers after 11 innings. Hearing chants of "Let them play" and "Re-fund," and then a chorus of boos, commissioner Bud Selig made his ruling anyway, leaving fans feeling cheated, writes Jim Caple. No MVP award was given in the first year the trophy was named to honor Ted Williams.
