MLB All-Star Rosters Reveal Little Noise From New York

If you’re a baseball fan, you’ll know Pete Alonso (aka “The Polar Bear”) as the first baseman for the New York Mets. Alonso upped his Cameo price to $284.88 this year, a 20% jump from $237.90 last year. This athlete is another charitable giver, putting some of the proceeds towards his charity Homers for Heroes, which raises money to thank local heroes in communities.

And one thing is clear: the nation has taken notice of the struggles for the Yankees and Mets.
Combined only three-players from the two New York teams are going to the All-Star Game.
Aaron Judge was voted in by the fans to start in right field. Whether that happens or not is another thing as Judge's toe injury is likely to keep him from participating at all.
Gerrit Cole was the only Yankee pitcher selected to rep the American League.
Meanwhile, the Mets' Pete Alonso was the only member of the Mets selected to the All-Star game as a reserve.
Cole is very much deserving of an All-Star appearance. He is 8-1 with a 2.78 ERA in 17 starts this year. This will be Cole's sixth All-Star Game.
While it would be nice for Yankees fans to see Cole start the game, chances are that either Tampa's Shane McClanahan or Texas' Nathan Eovaldi will get the ball in Seattle to open the game.
As for Alonso, despite battling an arm injury of late, he was at one point one of the top hitters in the Major's this season. Alonso's 24 home runs are third in Major League Baseball behind Shohei Ohtani and Matt Olson.
However, the recent struggles of a Mets team that has fallen completely out of contention in the National League, certainly hurt the likes of Francisco Lindor or Brandon Nimmo from getting All-Star considerations.
Hot Day Hazards: 7 Things To Avoid Leaving In Your Car
It's summertime, and you know what that means, scorching hot days that can turn your car into an oven on wheels. We've all been guilty of leaving stuff behind in our cars, but when the temperatures start rising, there are a few things you absolutely shouldn't leave baking in there.
Scorching Hot Facts
Last year, Consumer Reports performed a series of temperature tests within enclosed vehicles at CR's Auto Test Track in Colchester, Conn. The objective was to gain a better understanding of how quickly the temperature inside a car can escalate to unsafe levels. These experiments were conducted using precision measuring instruments.
During one of the tests, which took place on a June day with an average outside temperature of 61°F, the interior of a parked car surpassed 105°F within the first hour.
On a different occasion in July, with an average outside temperature of 78°F, the interior of a lighter-colored sedan reached over 104°F during a one-hour test period. Simultaneously, the interior of a dark-colored sedan climbed to more than 109°F.
Consumer Reports provided the temperature readings after one hour of testing. However, it's important to note that the interior temperatures continued to rise as time elapsed.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a warning stating that even on a seemingly mild day of around 60°F, the temperature inside a vehicle can dangerously escalate to 110°F over the course of several hours.
Life can get hectic, and sometimes we forget stuff in our cars. But when the temperatures rise, let's avoid turning our cars into hotboxes of doom. It'll save you from unnecessary headaches and ensure your stuff stays in tip-top shape.
The next time you hop out of your car, do a quick scan to make sure you're not leaving behind anything that'll suffer from the heat. Here are seven items that you should avoid leaving in your car on a scorching hot day.
