I must admit I watched little of Tuesday’s All-Star Game. I feel the game lost its zeal long ago…about the time inner league play began. In my humble opinion, the elimination of inner league play would help restore interest (at least mine) in the former “mid-summer classic”. Instead, the importance of the game is propped up by manufactured value…the winner receiving home field advantage during the World Series. Do you know anyone who endorses this home-field lunacy? (Other than Bud Selig)
While I once again had no interest in the actual All-Star game this year…my attentiveness to the home run derby was up one thousand percent.
