The 2011 Home Run Derby put on quite the show on Monday night with Robinson Cano and Adrian Gonzalez sending baseballs flying into the night air. Many think the Home Run Derby is the most entertaining part of the MLB All-Star week but the 68 players who make up the American and National League rosters don't feel that way. For them, this is the chance to hang out with their peers and take a break from the grind of the regular season schedule.
The 82nd MLB All-Star Game at Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona will start at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT on Tuesday night. Fox Sports holds the TV broadcast rights with Tim McCarver and Joe Buck in the booth.
The rosters for the NL and AL teams have been fluid as players back out due to injury or other things they would rather be doing than come to Phoenix for the All-Star Game. Here's the final rosters for the big game.
