The 2017 All-Star Game saw the American League beat the National League 2-1 in 10 innings on Tuesday night at Marlins Park in Miami, Florida. Seattle Mariners second baseman Robinson Cano led the AL to victory with a home run in the 10th inning, earning him MVP honors.
The 88-year-old tradition is a showcase for MLB's top talent, but it's also a time to remind players and baseball fans everywhere that the game should be fun. Across the league, current and former players took to Twitter and Instagram to share their thoughts on this year's game.

What an experience! @JUST_JUP with a base hit and probably a game saving catch in right field! I had the best spectator seat in the dugout!
