I never heard the reason that Tony Gwynn was removed from the All-star game so 
early.  I assumed it was due to an injury because I thought I understood the 
rule to be that all starters had to play the first 3 innings (except if 
injured).  What exactly was his injury and was he hurt bad enough to miss any 
regular games?

I also have a question about rules and another about scoring (I guess).  Can a 
switch hitter switch from right to left or vice-versa during an at bat?  Could 
it be anytime, never or only if a pitching change is made?  Now for the scoring 
question.  If a hitter has a hitting streak going and fails to get a hit in 
a tied game that is suspended due to rain, darkness, curfew or whatever, then 
a new game is started before the suspended one can be completed, is his 
hitting streak considered stopped?
