Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher Paul Skenes was the story of this All-Star Game, and the buzz started almost a week early. After Skenes spun seven no-hit innings against the Milwaukee Brewers on July 11, National League manager Torey Lovullo knew whom he’d honor as the All-Star Game starting pitcher and “couldn’t wait to tell the world.” When he informed Michael Hill, MLB senior vice president of on-field operations, of his plan to start Skenes, Hill had an idea to barge into the pitcher’s planned interview with “The Dan Patrick Show” and surprise the 22-year-old with the news.
The ‘Warning Bells’ of Political Violence Were Ringing Long Before the Rally Shooting
For the first time this century, the American public has witnessed an attempt to kill a president. On Saturday, less than 48 hours before the start of the Republican National Convention, a 20-year-old man wielding an AR-style rifle tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. In doing so, the shooter killed 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, a longtime volunteer firefighter who died shielding his family from gunfire, and hospitalized two other Pennsylvanians, David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74. The shooter was killed at the scene. Trump’s ear appeared to be wounded during the attack, but it has not been officially confirmed that the injury was caused by a bullet. The following day, he flew to the convention in Milwaukee, where guns are allowed just outside the venue and Republicans, including a Trump campaign official, have insisted that their stances on the Second Amendment are unchanged.
