All-Star notes give Blue starting for AL and Bench injury risk
Vida Blue, 22, Oakland ace, named AL starter for the 42nd All-Star game. He keeps 20 cents in his hip pocket as a superstition for his 17 wins. Johnny Bench may cede catching duties to Manny Sanguillen if his wrist isn’t right, while Sanguillen shines with a .319 average and 37 RBIs. Cookie Rojas could play for both leagues if he appears, as Amos Otis is the other Royals rep.
