It’s a star studded night on the big screen. The Republican National Convention opens in Milwaukee and Major League Baseball’s All-Star Weekend begins in Indianapolis. In a way, it’s like having two awards shows compete for attention.
The RNC will have a roll call where each state’s delegates announce the number of delegates it is delivering to the candidates. This is really a formality, as Donald Trump already has enough pledged delegates to win the nomination. So there’s little suspense in that regard.
The MLB Home Run Derby offers a different competition. It’s a batting slugfest where pre-qualified players try to hit as many home runs as possible, not against another team but against the clock and the person who lobs balls to him.
I for one am going out to dinner with a friend. Regardless of how long we chat, I’ll be home in plenty of time to catch any breaking news.
