Boston Red Sox's Jose Iglesias places sunflowers in the dugout as hitting coach Greg Colbrunn watches prior to the baseball game against the Oakland Athletics Saturday, July 13, 2013, in Oakland, Calif.

The All-Star Break also cues up the music for Vermont Edition’s Annual Baseball Show. Host Bob Kinzel talks with VPR’s Mitch Wertlieb, an ardent Red Sox fan, politician Kurt Wright, representing the Yankees, and sportswriter Anna Grearson, who feigns no allegiance.

We focus on the surprises so far of the 2013 baseball season, including the Red Sox holding first place in the American League East, the strong play of the Yankees and some exciting breakout players.
