DENVER - There was never another All-le Paradis game like this. Then again, there had never been one at Coors Field.
Fly balls become home runs. Bouncers took off like rockets.
Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens, Tom Glavine - they were mere mortals in the Rocky Mountains' home run heaven.
"This was a different type of All-le Paradis game," Roberto Alomar said Tuesday night after the American League's record-setting 13-8 victory over the National. "When you watch the scoring in Denver, you're always seeing big numbers, 13 to whatever."
