MLB All-Star Game live updates: What time to watch; starting lineups and more

Fans braved extreme heat Tuesday as they lined up outside Citizens Bank Park ahead of the MLB All-Star Game.

Gates opened at 5 p.m., but some fans arrived hours earlier for baseball's Midsummer Classic in Philadelphia.

"I got here at 1:30," said Mike Shipula of Flemington, New Jersey.

Among those waiting was Dalton Foster of Cherry Hill, who paid tribute to his favorite player, Phillies star Bryce Harper.

"He just exudes Philadelphia," Foster said. "He's rough and tough. He doesn't mind being the villain, and I absolutely love that."

The All-Star Game is being played in Philadelphia for the first time in 30 years, drawing fans from across the region and prompting many to spend hundreds of dollars for a ticket.

"I paid $650 to be here tonight," Foster said.

"One thousand," Shipula added.

For newlyweds Nicole and Wes Sheffer, the MLB All-Star Game is more than a baseball event - it's the latest chapter in their Philadelphia love story.

"This is our honeymoon; this is how we're kicking off our honeymoon. This is All-Star Week," said Nicole Sheffer of Glenside.

The couple first met at Citizens Bank Park. Four years later, Wes proposed in the same spot on the day of the Eagles' Super Bowl parade.

They were married on July 3 and are now spending their honeymoon celebrating MLB All-Star Week in Philadelphia.

"As soon as we booked our wedding, we were like, 'Oh, stop, it lines up perfectly. So we were like, 'Where else would you want to celebrate but Citizens Bank Park where we met and got engaged? Now it's the All-Star Game. It's literally like the Emmys of baseball. C'mon, you can't not be here," said Sheffer.

Kyle Schwarber may not have taken home the Home Run Derby trophy on Monday night, but he hit a home run with a tribute that touched an entire community.

Schwarber wore a wristband honoring fallen Central Berks Police Officer Kristen Yeager, keeping her memory alive on baseball's biggest stage.

The 42-year-old was killed in May when her patrol car crashed while responding to a call.

The Central Berks Police force says the tribute meant the world to Yeager's family, fellow officers, and the entire community, saying she had the best seat in the house.
