The Major League All-Star Game has come and gone, the National League won home-field advantage in the World Series (again), Prince Fielder went yard (MVP style) and Houston's own Hunter Pence gunned down a runner at the plate and collected a single — googly eyes and all.

But before moving onto the second half of the season, let's look at some of the moments that will stick with us from Phoenix.

Fail of the Derby: Hunter Pence's tweeting

It was no surprise when Pence was asked to tweet from the sidelines of this year's Home Run Derby, given his sparkling personality, but he failed miserably. He tweeted a whopping five times throughout the nearly three-hour event. Starting with the fact that he was late getting on the field (Big Puma's fault) and ending with the fact that Prince Fielder is strong (seriously, tell me something I don't know).

Somewhere in the middle, Pence added his only piece of "commentary": That "Keisha" was the background music for the extravaganza. I think he meant Ke$ha?

Hunter, I love you and will weep like a baby if you are traded in the next two weeks, but you need to step up your Twitter game.

His tweets from the morning after, mentioning the recurring theme of people referring to his infamously intense googly eyes were more entertaining than those from Home Run Derby night.

Maybe he was starstruck.

Epic Fail of the Derby: Fan almost falls out of the stands

You would think that in light of the tragic death in Arlington, baseball fans would be slightly more cognizant of barricades and gravity. News flash: That railing you're leaning against? It's there for a reason, and that reason is to keep you on the upper level.

The very day of Shannon Stone's funeral, a guy who has already caught three home run balls with his buddies climbs on a table to try and catch another one. Predictably, he went over the railing and, fortunately for him, his friends were quick enough to grab him so that he did not fall 20 feet onto the pool deck.

Have we learned nothing over the last week?

It's fun to sit in the outfield and catch balls, especially during the Derby, but there is a limit. The man and his friends already had three balls. Were they trying to collect one from each participant? Maybe so, but there is no good reason to mount an elevated surface to try and catch another one.

Way to make baseball fans look like idiots.

Win of the Derby: Precious family moments

Derby champ Robinson Cano had his father pitch to him for the night. The elder Cano (former Astros pitcher, Jose) was notably in shape and did a superb job of pitching his way to his son's epic win just like in their days of playing catch in grandma's backyard.

How epic of a win? Cano is only the second second baseman of all time to win the Derby (it has a 26-year history, it's been around longer than you'd think). That's a pretty sweet deal.

Did anyone else well up just a teensy bit at the pictures of the two celebrating after Cano clinched his victory?

Victory is sweet, but it's even sweeter when you have someone awesome to share it with.

Epic Win of the Derby: Guy dives for ball, doesn't spill beer

OK, this doesn't help much in the whole making-baseball-fans-look-intelligent crusade, but it does make for a pretty awesome story.

In the final round of the Derby, Adrian Gonzalez hit a bomb towards the pool deck of Chase Field. A young man leapt to make the catch, and came down in the water of the pool, managing to keep both his beer and his leather glove from breaking the surface of the water.

The catch will likely go down in All-Star history. Right along with Pence's bullet throw from left field.
