Do you find any excitement in the idea or the reality of the All-Star Game?
One of my most boomer takes is that the game has lost something ever since the addition of interleague play into the regular season schedule. The trend was ongoing for a long time, because the leagues were even more separate back in the days before free agency, when there was much less player movement across the leagues. I wasn’t alive for that.
I am old enough to have grown up where National League players were some mysterious other, seen only on baseball cards and if you combed through the box scores in the sports section of the newspaper.
