the ceremonial first pitch, Fergie kicked and delivered a strike to Staal. After the anthems, the All-Stars got their pictures with the Stanley Cup. "G'wan, that there's not the real Cup, is it?" asked one ballplayer. Jordan simply smiled. "Yep, it sure is!" he replied.

Back at the celebration at the home of his parents, guests dug into roast beef sandwiches and salads. When Jordan heard the bass pumping from 'I Gotta Feeling' by the Black-Eyed Peas, he shouted, "Hey, that's our song," and started his Stanley Cup celebration dance.
