HOUSTON — Tomorrow night will be the night when the best of the best take the field together in the grandest All Star Game in all of professional sports.

The American League pitching staff boasts a number of big name pitchers, including a couple of very tough left-handers. The club has Andy Pettitte of the New York Yankees, Pedro Martinez of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Randy Johnson and Sean Depaula of the Seattle Mariners, John Smiley of the Minnesota Twins, Mike Sirotka and Ben McDonald of the Detroit Tigers, Robb Nen of the Toronto Blue Jays, Troy Percival of the Anaheim Angels, Hipolito Pichardo of the Kansas City Royals, Keith Foulke of the Chicago White Sox, and Steve Karsay of the Oakland Athletics.

The National League's staff is not to be outdone, however, including living legend Greg Maddux of the Atlanta Braves, Matt Morris and Lance Painter of the St. Louis Cardinals, Kevin Brown of the Florida Marlins, Brad Penny and Jason Christiansen of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chan Ho Park of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Carl Pavano of the Colorado Rockies, Ugueth Urbina of the Montreal Expos, Felix Heredia of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Bob Wickman of the Milwaukee Brewers, and Todd Erdos of the San Diego Padres.

The American League position players are a mix of young superstars and old, familiar names. Dave Nilsson of the White Sox and Jason Varitek of the Boston Red Sox will be the team's catchers. Will Clark and Bernie Williams of the New York Yankees, Edgar Martinez, Alex Rodriguez and Eric Young of the Seattle Mariners, Carlos Delgado, Jeff Kent, and Luis Gonzalez of the Blue Jays, Jim Thome and Ellis Burks of the Cleveland Indians, Ben Grieve of the A's, Steve Cox of the Detroit Tigers, and Roosevelt Brown of the Baltimore Orioles will round out the roster.

On the National League side, Houston Astros outfielder Bobby Abreu will be the lone hometown representative. He will share time in the outfield with Lance Berkman of the New York Mets, Brian Giles of the Cardinals, Chris Singleton of the Pirates, Barry Bonds and Magglio Ordonez of the San Francisco Giants, and Vladimir Guerrero of the Expos. The rest of the roster is made up by Jasom Giambi of the Dodgers, Jose Valentin of the Milwaukee Brewers, Eric Chavez of the Marlins, Jose Vidro of the Expos, Todd Hundley of the Mets, Todd Helton of the Rockies, and Ramon Hernandez, Chipper Jones, and Fred McGriff of the Braves.
