MLB Names Umpires For All-Star Game
By Al Yellon - Editor
The plate umpire in Tuesday's All-Star Game should be a familiar face to Commissioner Bud Selig.
Gerry Davis will be the home plate umpire for next week's All-Star game, the second time as crew chief for the 29-year veteran.
Davis, who also worked the plate for the infamous 7-7, 11-inning tie at Milwaukee in 2002, will be joined next Tuesday in Kansas City by Jim Joyce (first), Brian Runge (second), Tony Randazzo (third), Lance Barksdale (left) and Brian Knight (right).
Now that we have 34 players on the All-Star teams, it seems unlikely we'll ever see a situation like the one ten years ago, ever again... but then, Bud Selig is still Commissioner, so you never know. In addition, Brian Runge has been an umpire in two perfect games this year -- behind the plate for Philip Humber's and at third base for Matt Cain's. He won't likely have to worry about that on Tuesday... and then, there's Jim Joyce, who could have been an umpire during a perfect game, but... well, you know.
That's probably more than you ever wanted to know about the All-Star Game umpires. Carry on.

Davis has been fairly neutral in O/U terms the past four seasons. In fact 2009-present he's 56-57 O/U including 8-9 this season.
