After weeks of voting and a first place performance in the first half, the Royals sent six players to the 2015 All Star Game along with manager Ned Yost (and an injured Alex Gordon, who was elected to start, but stayed home on the disabled list).

To celebrate, the Vault invited Royals fans to Kelly's Westport Inn to watch the game, talk with other fans, and to give away some prizes.

We recorded all night and throughout the game, welcoming old friends and new.

In part 1, we talked with David Lesky of Pine Tar Press about twitter, the All Star Game, the Hall of Fame, and what the Royals might do in the second half.

We also talked about some of the Royals in the All Star Game as we waited for the first pitch.

(Note: This is Part 1 of 3 to be posted this week. Each part is under an hour in length, however.)
