Has a fired manager ever been a coach at the All-Star game?

Yeah, last year.
Willie Randolph was invited by Hurdle, then fired like two weeks before the actual game.
What is even the point of naming managers to be coaches?
Joe Maddon’s coaching staff is ill-prepared to coach this exhibition game?

probably just a courtesy to guys who haven't been in the "big-time" yet
of the playoffs, World Series, etc.

Note to Maddon:
Direct all baseball questions to Wakamatsu.

it's all a publicity stunt
To create the illusion of a summit between the opposing field generals in the Battle For Grass Creek.
Don’t fall for it, it’s a farce.
Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f@#%ing boat.

So,
Wakamatsu & Hillman = Sadat & Begin
while
Maddon = Kissinger
Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!
wouldn't it be more like Maddon = Carter?

Wait a minute.
The two managers who manage teams in the state where the All-Star game is being played got named to ceremonial “coaching” jobs?
Get out of town!
