My luck, stuck in a sports bar in Philadelphia, during the All Star game. Nonetheless the show and game highlighted what we know in KC, it is a first class city with first class people. I heard positive comments from many folks during the telecast, some who have never been to KC and others who have. One of the words used often to describe KC is "friendly", funny in a city described as being the city of "brotherly love". If you are a baseball fan you recognize the unfriendly treatment given to Yankee Cano for his non-selection of Billy Butler in the Home Run Contest...when asked he downplayed the dust up by citing the more unfriendly reception the Yanks get @ Fenway (fair enough).
KC won't host the game for a very long time and it is too bad. KC provided more volunteers (6,000) than any other city to date, turned out more runners for the charity 5K race (almost 9,000) than any other city...I'm sure there are many more records set by KC that will be hard to beat. It was an All Star effort by KC, even though the Royals come up a bit short on the field (okay, maybe a lot).
I'm from Weatherby Lake, but for a day I was happy and proud to say Kansas City.
