Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard told the Philadelphia Daily News that he wants to play in this year's All-Star Game, which will be held in his hometown of St. Louis. "That would be awesome," Howard said. "That would be a great experience, being in the All-Star Game in your hometown. It would be right up there." Howard was last an All-Star back in 2006, when he was named a reserve. He is hitting .293 with 5 home runs and 19 RBIs in 92 at-bats this season.
