ALL-STAR FIELD OF DREAMS?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Tom Seaver was 22-year-old rookie with the hapless New York Mets in 1967, but a strong first half of the season had made him the Mets\u2019s lone All-Star selection. He was still in single digits on a career that would find him scaling 300 victories, and he spent most of that July 11 evening in the visiting bullpen at Anaheim Stadium, hardly expecting to see action at all.\u00a0more<\/a><\/p>\n \n SECRETS OF YANKEE STADIUM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n In the old third base dugout of Yankee Stadium, which the Yankees occupied from 1923-1945, Babe Ruth would keep a fresh head of cabbage in the water cooler.
