All-Star Celeb Line-Up for MLB All-Star Events

As entertaining as the Alex Rodriguez reality-tv-show-disguised-as-reality is, the MLB has opted to go with alternate forms of celebrity entertainment for the All-Star events at Yankee Stadium.
Yesterday the league sponsored a free Bon Jovi concert in Central Park. (Digression: We once saw Bon Jovi at a Miami party but totally blew off ’cause we didn’t want to go all fangirl on him).
People.com reports that 3 Doors Down will provide music to swing by (but not, we presume, swing music) tomorrow night for the does-it-or-doesn’t-it-wreck-your-swing Home Run Derby. On Tuesday, Sheryl Crow will kick things off with the national anthem (take that, Lance and Kate!) and that Josh Groban will sing God Bless America—sorry, Kate Smith—during the seventh-inning stretch.
No word as to whether or not any squirrel-hatted Yankees fans will be there for your viewing pleasure, but it’s worth taking a peek around if you’re in the stands.
