Heard on the air from SPORTING NEWS RADIO hosts:

Rick Ballou

On baseball's All-Star Game:

"It continues to amaze me why the hype for the All-Star Game has gone away. This was the one night as a kid that my dad used to let me stay up late and watch. But in this day and age, the interest for the Mid-summer Classic has left, and, to me, that's sad."

Rick Ballou can be heard Monday through Friday from 10 p.m to 2 a.m.

Papa Joe Chevalier

On baseball's International players:

"Is there any danger that there will be no Japanese players left in Japan? ... That's what the NHL did to the Russian hockey league. Is there a possibility of that?."

Papa Joe Chevalier can be heard weeknights from 6-10 p.m.
