MINNEAPOLIS -- There's a lot more navy, scarlet and cream splashed around the downtown Minneapolis cityscape this week.
The MLB All-Star Game and corresponding festivities, frivolity and pageantry are upon us.
A little less than a week before the Midsummer Classic itself, FOXSportsNorth.com's Tyler Mason and Phil Ervin sat down Wednesday to discuss all the upcoming goings-on in an All-Star edition of the FOX Sports North Podcast. The pair of beat writers talk about the scope of such a once-in-a-lifetime event and the presence of several Twins past, present and future, starting with Sunday's Futures Game and culminating Tuesday with the AL-NL clash itself.
One of them, former Twins catcher Tim Laudner joins the podcast as a special guest to discuss his own All-Star experience and what to expect from this year's game.
