An Iowa umpire will work Tuesday night’s Major League Baseball All Star Game in Arlington, Texas. Bruce Dreckman lives in Marcus and will be working first base in the midsummer classic. It is his second All Star Game assignment.

Dreckman says an All Star Game is a much different assignment than a playoff series.

Dreckman says for the umpires the goal is the same for every game.

Dreckman will have family with him at Tuesday night’s game.
