Monday July 11 - Off Day

Today was the first day of the All Star break so the Orioles like everyone else were off.  Cal Ripken was the sole member of the Birds to make the All Star team so he was in Cincinnati while everyone else got three days off at home.

Normally the day before the All Star game features the Home Run Derby.  The Derby was first held in 1985 in Minnesota and has been held annually ever since with one exception.  That exception was 1988 - rain in Cincinnati forced its cancelation.
