Manuel, Maddon name All-Star coaches
Leading the Leagues to Gateway City
With the game being played in St. Louis, it's no surprise that Manuel selected Cardinals skipper Tony La Russa as one of his coaches, but it wasn't just hometown favoritism. La Russa has been an All-Star manager five times, most recently leading the National League team in 2007.
Joining that duo on the bench will be Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre, a nine-time All Star player himself, including four appearances in a St. Louis Cardinals uniform. He also managed the Cards from 1990-1995, and has been an All-Star manager six times, all in the American League. In fact, Manuel himself was one of Torre's All-Star coaches in 2002.
In the American League, Maddon selected Kansas City Royals manager Trey Hillman and Seattle Mariners skipper Don Wakamatsu to join him on the bench for the game.
