Chazz Palminteri (WFAN caller) to narrate ESPN Yankee Stadium retrospective

Chazz Palminteri comments to Newsday's Ken Davidoff on this week's All Star game:

• "It's really going to be special," said Palminteri, who not only starred in but also wrote "A Bronx Tale," and is narrating an ESPN retrospective on the Stadium. "If I was a player and I played my first All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium, it's something I wouldn't forget.""...

Davidoff adds his own notes:

• "Alex Rodriguez doesn't want to participate in the Home Run Derby?
• Who cares?
• Bud Selig and the Major League Baseball people do, understandably. But the rest of us?
• Whatever. The Derby is an over-hyped, underwhelming event, no matter who's competing,
• that functions best as a lead-in to a night on the town."...
