J.D. Drew, Scott Kazmir, and Rest of A.L. East Steal the Show

It was Yankee Stadium's time to shine last night after all of the parades, clips of times gone by, and talk of time to come. However, who would've guessed that it would be the rest of the A.L. East that would steal the show?

The Yankees only had three out of the 14 A.L. East All-Star selections. Two of them being A-Rod and Jeter, who combined to go 1-5 while J.D. Drew of the Red Sox hits a two-run homerun in the seventh inning to make it a 2-2 game.

Next, after Yankee fans try to get back at "Paplebum" for things he said in an interview before the game, the Rays Longoria hits a RBI double to tie the game back up at three in the eighth.

Then as Rivera finally gives Yankee fans something to cheer about by striking out Ludwick, Navarro of the Rays turns it into a double play with a perfect throw to catch Guzman stealing second.

And as the game continues, Yankee fans are forced to watch as no Yankees are left on the field of play, and are having to cheer on Navarro and Drew who help load the bases in the 15th to help win the game for the A.L.

So as if that weren't enough for the Yankee fans to digest, Kazmir gets the win and Drew gets the MVP.

Even though it was Yankee Stadiums moment to shine, it was the rest of the A.L. East that stole the spotlight.
