Francona Asks NY Manager To Coach At All-Star Game

Francona Asks Girardi To Be AL Side Coach At All-Star Game In New York

BOSTON (AP) ― Managers Joe Girardi of the Yankees and Willie Randolph of the Mets have been asked to serve as coaches for the All-Star game in New York.

Yankee Stadium will host the game July 15 in its final season.

Boston manager Terry Francona will guide the AL team and Colorado manager Clint Hurdle will lead the NL side.  The All-Star managers are always the managers from the previous year's World Series.

Francona invited Girardi and Detroit manager Jim Leyland to be AL coaches. Hurdle asked Randolph and San Diego manager Bud Black to be on his staff.

Several Red Sox coaches will handle batting practice and field duties. Those coaches include Luis Alicea, John Farrell, DeMarlo Hale, Dave Magadan, Brad Mills and Gary Tuck.

Colorado coaches working on the NL staff include Bob Apodaca, Alan Cockrell, Mike Gallego, Glenallen Hill, Rick Mathews and Jamie Quirk.
