Without Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and Alex Rodriguez around, someone had to carry the Yankee Pride at All-Star weekend. Robinson Cano's booming victory in the Home Run Derby fit the bill just fine.
Forty years ago, the All-Star game really was played by stars. Back then, 18 future Hall of Famers took the field at Tiger Stadium. This year, 16 All-Stars -- including Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter -- backed out of Tuesday night's desert showdown.
As Derek Jeter approaches 3,000 hits, the landmark has little bearing on his baseball legacy as possibly the most dominant winner in the game's history.
Yankees closer Mariano Rivera was available to pitch in Thursday night's 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay, though he is skipping the All-Star game next week because of soreness in his right triceps.

Yankees closer Mariano Rivera was not available for Monday night's 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians because of a sore right triceps muscle.
Beyond the bouquets Mets fans sent Ramiro Pena (and perhaps a rose for Rivera, the closer nonpareil who reminds us once a month or so that there is indeed blood in his veins), what did we learn from the Mets and Yankees this weekend?
Pinch-hitter Ronny Paulino came through with a tying single off Mariano Rivera, Jason Bay drove home the winning run in the 10th and the feisty New York Mets ended the Yankees' seven-game winning streak
Rivera, selected for his 12th All-Star team earlier in the day, dropped his head on the mound after his fourth blown save in 25 chances this season.
Based on that final balloting update, it appears the American League starting lineup for the All-Star game will be loaded with Yankees and Red Sox.
David Robertson wasn't expected to become the Yankees' setup man after the signing of Rafael Soriano, but now flourishes in the role. After injuries to Soriano and Joba Chamberlain, Robertson is having an All-Star caliber season after the adversity of the 2010 ALCS.

Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez knows he might be a goner by the July 31 trading deadline, and he's not against serving in a setup role for a contending team. Including the Yankees.
Mariano Rivera is a star pitcher with the New York Yankees. But in New Rochelle, he's hit a home run.
Alex Rodriguez started New York's four-run first inning with an RBI single, and rookie Ivan Nova handled the NL's most prolific offense for eight innings, leading the Yankees to a 5-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.
Thursday night felt like it was going to be different because Sabathia was on the mound, but it wasn't. Sabathia has now faced Beckett three times this season. The Yankees have lost all three games.
Once Nick Swisher got the signs down, he delivered the big hit that helped the New York Yankees complete a three-game sweep.
Adam Kennedy scored pinch-runner Luis Rodriguez with a bloop single off Mariano Rivera in the bottom of the 12th inning and the Seattle Mariners won for the ninth time in 10 games with a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday night.
Much is made (if not overplayed) about the Core Four. It's a charming tale of friendship and good fortune. But the Yankees could easily have won their titles without any one member of the quartet. Except Mariano Rivera.
One day someone else will come out for the Yankees in the ninth -- and it will be an adventure, like it is with every closer in baseball not named Mariano Rivera.
Mariano Rivera is unrivaled as the greatest closer of all-time. But is he deserving of a mention among the most legendary ballplayers? Judging by his ability to overpower steroid-era hitters with one pitch, a case can certainly be made.
Mariano Rivera became the first player in major league history to make 1,000 appearances with the same team, cleaning up the ninth inning of the Yankees' 7-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on a sun-splashed afternoon in the Bronx.
I'm glad I only have to imagine what it would be like for the Yankees and Mets to reverse roles. I don't have to actually deal with this problem because it's not real for me or other Yankees fans.
