Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Paul Skenes stole the show at the All-Star Game, but Shohei Ohtani proved he's still the best player in the world with a stellar performance. Boston Red Sox's Jarren Duran also shined, becoming only the second outfielder in Red Sox history to win the MVP award. Despite the American League's 5-3 victory, Skenes' journey from fan to All-Star was the highlight of the night. His awe at sharing the field with legends was evident, especially watching Ohtani's explosive homer. Duran added a personal touch with a game-changing homer, symbolizing his mental health advocacy. While the game was unforgettable for many, AL starter Corbin Burnes had the added joy of seeing his newborn twins before rushing back home post-game. Overall, the All-Star Game showcased both up-and-coming talent and established stars on a memorable night in Arlington.
