                       The All Stars and the All Star game by Henry McKenna

                                        After 91 games contested

                                        And none of the games protested

                                        Making sure that all players are rested

                                        The best in both league are tested


                                       The National League with a 6 game lead in inter-league play

                                       And home field advantage on All Star day

                                       A day after two of their own battled their way

                                       Through the homer derby contest to have their say


                                       A guy named Pena won the derby and then prepared for the next game

                                       His team, the Nationals, seemed a team all with a similar name

                                      With a Sanchez, Chavez and two Fernandez you'd think they were all the same

                                      But it was Pena that ended that day with the  fame.


                                      Their opponents the Americans with their roster 30 men strong

                                      Faced a day that would be way to  long

                                      Future lyricist used this day for a sad song

                                      Because Pena would make their efforts all wrong


                                      Jose Pena of the Helena Rips

                                      On this day had no dips.

                                      And Jose had no slips

                                      Jose had a two run rip

                                      Thus an MVP tip
