NEW YORK -- A person familiar with the announcement says Major League Baseball will announce Wednesday that the New York Mets will host the 2013 All-Star game at Citi Field. . The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because MLB did not reveal the purpose of the news conference at Citi Hall with baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, Mets owner Fred Wilpon and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Baseball decided at least four years ago that the Mets would host the game at the ballpark, which opened in 2009, but held off an announcement until it reaching agreements with the city. The Mets last hosted the All-Stars in 1964, the year Shea Stadium opened. The game was last in New York in 2008, the final season of old Yankee Stadium.

Dickeys best season yet ended with a no-decision and some surprising news: Hell have surgery Oct.AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- After 11 NBA seasons, Richard Hamilton knows his days as an elite scorer are probably over. Hes still capable of lighting things up on occasion, though. Hamilton scored 12 of his 27 points in overtime in the Detroit Pistons 115-110 victory over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night. "I still enjoy playing this game, and Im always going to work hard out there," said Hamilton, who came into the night averaging just 12.1 points. "When they need me, like they did tonight, Im going to be ready." Hamilton hit five straight jumpers before missing with 23 seconds left in the extra period. He later added two free throws to give the Pistons a four-point lead. "We could tell that the Wizards were having trouble guarding Rip down the stretch," Pistons coach John Kuester said. "He had things going, and we were going to keep getting him the ball." Hamiltons overtime heroics wouldnt have been possible without Charlie Villanuevas performance in regulation. Villanueva had 25 points and 10 rebounds in the first 48 minutes, and also blocked Gilbert Arenas three-point attempt that would have put the Wizards up by five with 1:17 left. "I was just determined to win this game," Villanueva said. "In the end, Rip did what we needed from him. Hes been struggling, so it is always good to see him get going like that." Kuester even got some coaching help from veteran Tracy McGrady. "Tracy came up with a play, and we got two huge three-pointers out of it in the fourth quarter -- Will Bynum got one and Charlie got one," Kuester said. "Thats how you know you are coming together as a team -- when guys speak up in situations like that." Wizards rookie star John Wall missed his fourth straight game because of a sprained left foot. He was on the Wizards active list, and coach Flip Saunders said before the game that he hoped to get a few minuttes out of him, but Wall ended up watching in street clothes.

Gilbert Arenas added 19 points and a career-high 16 assists. "We played a great game, so this one hurts," Arenas said. "The blowouts dont hurt -- it is the ones you should have won. We should have won this, but I had two key turnovers." Hamiltons fifth jumper put Detroit up 112-110 with a minute left in overtime, and two straight Wizards turnovers let the Pistons hang on for the win. "Rip did in overtime what you want your veteran players to do -- he took over the game," said Wizards coach Flip Saunders, who coached Hamilton for three years in Detroit. Washington only scored 17 points in the first quarter, but came alive against the Pistons backup in the second. The Wizards hit eight of their first nine shots and finished the quarter with 38 points to take a 55-52 lead. Detroit cut it to 78-77 after three, but Washington took advantage of the same matchups that had given them the big second quarter. The Wizards were up 96-89 with 5:17 to go, but Villanueva answered with his fourth three-pointer of the game. Five straight points from Andray Blatche put the Wizards up 102-98 with 1:40 left, but Villanuevas block led to his tying layup with 20.9 seconds to go. Blatche had an open three-pointer at the buzzer, but missed to set up overtime. "Charlie has been doing that for us all season," Hamilton said. "He was huge tonight." NOTES: The Pistons had to stop a promotion involving their mascot and a frozen turkey when the thawing bird dripped water in several parts of the floor. ... Arenas and McGee had double-doubles by the end of the third quarter. ... Several Pistons greeted Saunders -- their former coach -- before the game, although Ben Wallace did not. ... Detroits Austin Daye didnt play after starting the last two games. ' ' '
