American League vs. National League, Verlander vs. Cain, Washington vs. LaRussa . . . what am I talking about? The MLB All-Star Game, of course! Tonight, baseball fans everywhere will be gathered together to cheer on their favorite league and favorite players! This mid-season game will not only set American League fans against National League fans, but it will also determine which league gets the home field advantage in the World Series.

Just like last year’s All-Star game, this game will be a little more exciting for social media nerds and baseball fans everywhere because the players will have access to Twitter during the game! Normally, players are not allowed to post to social accounts at all while they are at the field–in fact, they are not supposed to even have their phones on them in the dugout.

So, without further ado, we bring you our social media guide to watching the All-Star Game!

You should also try searching Twitter for the term Joe Buck–if it is anything like the stream for Chris Berman, you are in for a treat! Joe Buck usually draws quite a bit of chatter from fans who either hate or love him. Either way, it should be an entertaining stream! And if you want to chat me up, I’ll be watching too!
