All he did was hit a three-run home run off Roger Clemens and win the MVP award. You could say Alfonso Soriano more than earned his 2004 All-Star Game ring. A juicy stone cradled into a silver wrapping against a ruby-red setting is as stunning as the achievement it represents. Carved details abound on the silver band: a train running above the outfield facade of Houston's Minute Maid Park and the All-Star Game logo above it; the American League insignia of an eagle digging its talons into a baseball. The bowl surrounding the stones features a carved "Houston" and a line of stars. The outer bowl reads: "All Star 2004." Except on that night, Soriano was the star of stars. Makers stamp inside. The ring came from a Soriano family member with a letter of authenticity. Now this can be an All-Star in your collection.
