Two San Francisco Giants Named To All Star Team
![Two San Francisco Giants Named To All Star Team](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_4824,h_2713,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/giants_baseball_insider/01j27n0pjqtqpc4wyqfz.jpg)
The 2024 All Star reserves were announced on Sunday and the San Francisco Giants had two players named to the National League team. The ace of the staff, Logan Webb, and young star outfielder, Heliot Ramos, both earned their first career All Star selections.
Webb would have made the team last season, but he pitched the Sunday before the game, meaning he had to sit out the festivities. Still, it’s surprising this is his first time making the team, but it is well deserved.
After finishing second in the NL Cy Young voting in 2023, Webb has kept his dominance and reliability going in 2024. In his runner up Cy Young campaign, the right hander lead the league with 216 innings. One of just five pitchers to throw 200 or more innings in 2023, Webb posted a 3.25 ERA and an 8.1 K/9.
He’s on track to have an extremely similar season in 2024. As it stands, he leads the league once again with 119.1 innings and has gone at least six innings in every start since May 5. His 3.09 ERA is an imporvement on last season, but his strikeout numbers are down to 7.8 K/9.
Still, there is no doubt that he was going to be one of the All Stars for the Giants and finally gets his shot at the Midsummer Classic.
Heliot Ramos was the team’s second selection, another well deserved one at that. His story this season has been different than other All Stars, so it makes for a fun story. The 24-year-old didn’t make his season debut until May 8, but has been the Giants best hitter since.
In just 53 games, the outfielder has posted 2.3 bWAR, third on the team behind Webb and Matt Chapman. With his .300/.372/.522 slashline and .894 OPS, Ramos is second on the team behind LaMonte Wade Jr. with a 158 OPS+, a mark that would be top ten in baseball if he were qualified. He’s also tied for the team lead with 12 home runs and second with 40 RBI.
It was a bit of a long road for Ramos to get starting time over the last couple of seasons, but when he finally did, he showed that he is an All Star. In fact, Ramos becomes the first homegrown Giants outfielder to make an All Star team since Chili Davis all the way back in 1986.
In a season riddled with injuries, Ramos and Webb are two players to celebrate for the team.

‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ musical causes stir in San Francisco, is hammered for being 'transphobic'
![‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ musical causes stir in San Francisco, is hammered for being 'transphobic'](https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2024/05/robin-williams-mrs-doubtfire.jpg)
As the “Mrs. Doubtfire” musical returns center stage to San Francisco today, critics are accusing the play of containing “tired, transphobic tropes.”
“Never once did we want to be asking the audience to laugh at the notion of a man putting on a dress,” actor Rob McClure, who plays Daniel Hillard in the live-action production, told SFGate.
“To see them celebrate a story that ends with a guy in drag getting his own children’s television show, they’re giving it a standing ovation, not realizing they’re cheering against their own preconceived biases… In a weird way, they’re showing their hand, that their issue isn’t drag, it’s homophobia. It’s that if the character isn’t gay, they’re not scared of it,” the Tony nominee added.

The initial premiere of the musical version of this beloved classic in Seattle was met with outrage from its audience, catapulting 457 offended viewers to sign a petition pushing for the removal of the production in 2019. The petition demands “the tired, transphobic tropes in Mrs. Doubtfire should be left in the past.”
Inspired by the words of trans theater critic, Brin Solomon, the petition cited the premise of men wearing dresses as a “ridiculous” joke.
“The core premise of the man-in-a-dress joke is that it’s ridiculous and unnatural for a man to wear a dress. Because mainstream society, by and large, thinks of trans women as “men in dresses” instead of women, the man-in-a-dress joke perpetuates the idea that trans women are “unnatural” and fit for ridicule and scorn,” Solomon wrote.

A “New York Times” review of the musical brought cause for concern about the potential for the production’s revival to live up to that of the original 1993 film starring Robin Williams.
The critique read that McClure’s version of Daniel was “more irritating than entertaining” and that the character’s behavior came off as “more creepy than kooky.”
According to SF Gate, McClure will once again be the lead of “Mrs. Doubtfire” in 2024.

The comedic classic was set in San Francisco, a fact that remains consistent in the remake, which will also highlight the local landmarks of Steiner Street and the Painted Ladies.
“The musical language of the show was born out of what’s going on for the kids in the family… [The writers] thought that was an unexplored thing from the film, the real struggle that the family is going through, and the kids’ point of view of that messy divorce was something that could sing beautifully,” McClure said.
The Broadway production will be at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco throughout the month of July.
