>> i think most people, guys, are locked in on one name, and that's shohei ohtani.ll be starting on the mound for the american league. he plays for the angels, and then he'll be the leadoff hitter for the american league when they come to bat. after he's done pitching, he'll remain in the game as a designated hitter. as a two-way player, he's evoking things that babe ruth did in 1919, guys, world war i. that's how fascinating shohei ohtani is. and, belief me, he'll be front and center tonight. can't wait to see it. steve: speak of babe ruth and, you know, so many homers, last night at the home run derby, pete alone sow was amazing. he broke his own record from last year. >> the polar bear put on another incredible performance. 74 total home runs. he still hasn't touched guerrero jr.'s incredible performance from several years ago, but one of those home runs, guys, 514 feet -- steve: unbelievable. >> that's what happens when you have temperatures about 90 degrees and you have all the altitude here in the mile high city. it was a spectacularly successful derby and a g

but shohay ohtani is a special player. the first all-star game wasn't until 1933.s named one of the american league starting pitchers sunday after being designated as hitter thursday. the japanese native has been solid on the mound in 12 starts. he's really shined at the plate hitting his league 31st homer and the angels win over the orioles on sunday. that actually ties him for the most in a major league season for a japanese born player. certainly busy. elsewhere the braves pulling off a stunning comeback sense the marlins. so they scored four in the ninth to tie it, and they thought they won in the tenth but the empires overturned it on a replay. and if you take a look as riley slid over the plate if you look closely you can see this was the right decision here, get a foot in front of it. so the braves actually ran out of position players. he delivered the game winning hit, 8-7 the final. only the second time this year a team has rallied from four or more runs down in the ninth. and on saturday the superstar led slovenia to the first basketball appearance in the

[audio difficulty] >> reporter: -- talking about ohtani tonight, coverage gets going at 7 p.m.. dave sampson, you remember him, the former miami marlins it's almost as if all the back and forth about atlanta losing the game now this attention on this pitcher and leadoff hitter, which boggles the mind, that all that is sort of forgotten. or is it? what do you think? >> i think we should point out the reason why the all-star a game is not in atlanta is when that law was passed, the commissioner was put in a position where he had to move the all-star game because players said to him through the union, we're not going to show up. and if the players don't show up, then what kind of all-star game will there be on fox? maybe you and i could be in the all-star game. as it stands, the commissioner wanted the actual all-stars to play, so they made the quick pivot to go to denver. i think they understand it's a slippery slope because they e don't want to get in the business of establishing and understanding the voting rights laws in every single host city. neil: yeah. the irony is some of
