It’s @MLB revisionist history. The tied All-Star Game in 2002 didn’t happen.

BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () { if (bfjs.isMobile() || !isIE8()) document.getElementById(“update_tweet_posted_time_1374382”).setAttribute(‘title’, ‘Time posted: ‘ + UI.dateFormat.get_formatted_date(‘Mon Jul 15 21:52:40 +0000 2013’, ‘UTC’) ); });
BF_STATIC.timequeue.push(function () { document.getElementById(“update_tweet_posted_time_1374382”).innerHTML = UI.dateFormat.get_formatted_date(‘Mon Jul 15 21:52:40 +0000 2013’, ‘tweet’); });

So the 2002 ASG tie did happen after all. Back on scoreboard after yesterday’s odd absence
