What happened: Ernie Clement, the leading vote-getter for the American League All-Star team, described going through a table at a Bills Mafia tailgate alongside a Bills-themed RV nicknamed Precious. He also weighed in on the proper 8 a.m. tailgate drink, choosing between a wedge and a Labatt Blue Light.

Why it matters: The story ties Clement's rise as one of MLB's most visible players this season to Buffalo's tailgate culture, a scene long defined by folding-table stunts and RVs like Precious. It comes as he prepares to start at second base for the AL in the All-Star Game.

What to watch: Clement heads to the All-Star Game as the AL's starting second baseman, representing the Blue Jays alongside Dylan Cease.
