splash, too. check out the shoes. several all-stars had special cleats made although his have ks etched in as part of the design which may not be a good omen. as for the game and the all-star experience, harper's taken it all in stride. >> it's a blast, so much fun being around the best town in baseball and really just coming in here and try to enjoy yourself every day and take it all in with not only these guys but family, also. it's been a great experience and it's a lot of fun. home field advantage is huge in this game and it means a lot. hopefully we can get that win and i think that everybody out for the world series, whoever it is. hopefully it's us. i think it'll help out definitely. >> he's going to have some fun. as for the nats' other all stars gonzalez slated to pitch in the second inning tonight. strasburg will go in the third. and let's not forget about our

friends to the north, the o's. it's the first time since 2005. closer jim johnson is a first-time all-star joined by weters and adam jones, each making their second all-star appearance. >> like a kid in a candy store. just taking it all in, i think. fortunately i'm able to share with my two teammates. that's what i think it's about. we've had a good first half. it's the first time in a while the orioles have had multiple guys in the all-star game. it's just a testament to how we're playing the game. >> that's the best part about this all-star game for me is before the last seven years orioles had representatives here with teammates. that makes it easier, too. with guys you are with all the time makes it more comfortable. >> i was drafted in 2001 so it's special to see how things have come since then. and obviously having three representatives at the all-star game kind of shows that we have some good talent here now and people probably need to start

taking it a little bit more serious. >> so including desmond seven all-stars between the o's and the nationals. that is mark trumbull in the first round and this ball was a laser. looked like it was never going to come down. finally lands on the roof. big papi is loving what's going on. second round, how about prince fielder for the tigers. drops this bomb to right center field. 476 feet into the fountain. that tied the longest home run of the night. who had the other one? how about prince again. he did have the two longest homers on the evening. and this one was in the final round, 476 feet again. he had 12 in the final round to beat toronto's jose bautista. prince fielder, a two-time home run derby champ. ken griffey jr. the only other player to do that. things are changing for d.c. united, introducing their new primary investors.

an indonesian media mogul and part owner of the 76ers and a former sports agent and nba executive. lef yap sounds like he's up to the challenge of getting this team the new stadium they have been itching for. >> i don't take this opportunity lightly and eric, myself and will don't take this challenge lightly at all. it's been well thought through. that's why it took eight months to get here today. and we're committed to seeing this through. we're going to join hands and fight to make this a reality in terms of the new home and in terms of growing the d.c. united brand here and globally. so, you know, i think you are going to see it more through our actions than our words and believe us more through our actions than we're ready to take that fight on. >> all right. get it done. day two wizards mini camp and this isn't just for rookies. the veterans are here. second-year guys like chris singleton and mack in attendance. all threes players saw significant minutes as rookies last year because basically the

team wasn't any good. but they need to improve to keep those minutes coming. last year because of the lockout they didn't have mini camp. sheldon mack knows what he wants to accomplish this year. >> just going out there and compete, the biggest thing is to win. but fog out there and don't make the same mistakes i did last year. just try to learn from those and play hard. just control the things i can control. just make sure we get a win. >> what a brunch special late this morning at verizon center. the mistakes hosting the connecticut sun. langhorn making a nice spin move there. she had 15 points and nine rebounds. fourth quarter, the sun up by five. nice little give-and-go as she hits the floater. curry had 12 points. the miss particulars would pull within three. the sun wouldn't let up. with two to go, white hits the tough little running shot there. white had 11 in the game.

the they lose 77-70. they lose their third straight game. a bunch of campers were there so they had a pretty good crowd for that. >> who can go to a basketball game on tuesday in the middle of the day? >> worked out well. >> thank you, dan. >> you're welcome. coming up, a rare find in the attic of an ohio

two major retailers are joining forces for the first time, target and neiman marcus, plan to release a joint collection on december 1st. the offerings will include more than 50 products from two dozen designers including birch, oscar de de la renta. the items will be sold online and in target and neiman marcus stores. the collections at the stores will not be identical.

prices will range from $8 to $500. most items will be priced under $60. coming up at 11:00, a local man spent two decades behind bars for a crime he didn't commit. tonight he shares his story. plus, a newspaper reporter found dead in a suspicious fire. why police are reviewing her recent articles for possible clues in the case. plus, a silver lining from the recent round of storms. a local brewery's big surprise following the violent weather and how you go take advantage it have coming up tonight at 11:00. >> and doug is here with one more check on our forecast. a couple of showers 0 out there are just popping up a little bit everywhere right now, nothing strong. nothing severe. so don't worry about that. we need to see the rain so these showers may be welcomed out there right now. on radar those showers popping up around the district and in through portions of maryland. a zoom down to fairfax county and right around the airport you see showers around bailey's crossroads and around alexandria, down to mt. vernon and to the west of mt. vernon closer to springfield along the

beltway. up to montgomery and prince george's county, the wheaton area, and we're seeing a few showers in that region and then back up to the north and east right along route 50 to crownsville seeing a few showers. and these are more than showers, a moderate downpour you are going to get, redeveloping throughout the evening. don't be surprised to see a few as you make your way out and about tonight. it's going to be staying on the warm side but really the best chance of rain will stay to our south and speaking of warm temperatures, temperatures in the upper 80s to around 90 where we should be for this time of year and then i add in the rest of the weekend. 95 on sunday. 96 on monday. temperatures dipping back down to about 90 on tuesday. we'll wait and see how hot we get but it does look like another smaller, much smaller. a guy named karl was cleaning out his late grandfather's attic in ohio. he found a dirty old box.

it could be worth millions. that box contained an extremely rare series of baseball cards issued around 1910. they feature names that are still familiar today. ty cobb, wagner. experts say the cards are in nearly pristine condition most like other cards from near lay century ago. some will be sold at a sports collector's convention in baltimore. they are expected to bring in $500,000. but there are roughly 700 cards in all and total worth could be up to $3 million. karl says the haul is like finding the mona lisa in the attic. i don't know if that's a bit of an exaggeration but that's pretty exciting for a crummy old box in the attic. >> for me it's better that the mona lisa. i'm just saying. >> check your attic.
