The Brent Rooker Athletics Gardery Week began in Atlanta, the host city for the 2025 mlb All-Star game.

On Monday, Rooker participated in the annual home run derby. The next day, Rooker was one of the three players, the American League manager, Aaron Boone, selected to compete in the first swing-off of the star game.

Rooker was 2 per 3 in the historic tie -style tie -style. However, the star of the Philadelphia Philis, Kyle Schwarber, scored three points on the swing-off to help the National League win the thriller.

The list of names left some perplexed observers, which caused some questions about the selections. The ESPN MLB reporter Jeff Passan was among those who intervened in the player’s selection for the swing-off and offered his favorite alignment.

“What could have been: Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. vs. Shheii Ohtani, Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber,” Passan wrote in X.

Rooker offered a refutation after he realized the suggested list of players.

“Am I not good enough for you Jeff?” He joked in a published response to X.

The Rooker later made it clear that he had nothing against the ESPN star.

“(Boys, I like Jeff, I’m not angry, I would choose Aaron, Cal and Vladdy about me too),” he wrote the two-time All-Star in a later publication.

Boone approached concerns about his player’s selection for swing-off, saying that each manager should send three names the day before the game. He added that his decision was based on the idea that the judge would not be in the game in the last entries.

“We had to choose our boys yesterday,” Boone told journalists. “I wanted to make sure I chose the boys who knew they would be in the game there and still as heat. That was my choice.”

This is not the first time that Rooker has responded on social networks after his name was mentioned in something related to this year’s All-Star festivities. The athletic toletero pointed to a fan who criticized him for giving his son a bottle during the home run of Monday.

The ESPN cameras showed a rite feeding their 11 -month -old daughter a bottle while sitting near the bench.

“Hi Rooker … Did you really need to feed your baby in the camera? Sometimes people just want to see you play,” wrote an X spectator.

Rooker replied, writing: “Yes, it was necessary to feed my 11 -month -old son in his night bottle at 9:00 pm. Thank you for asking.”
