I love the All-Star Game. I really do. I think it all goes back to when I was a kid and for some reason, there was something magical about the moment when they announce the rosters out on the field. Seeing each player get a chance to tip his team’s cap and be recognized is special.
But , of course, I hate that the All-Star Game decides home-field advantage in the World Series. I remember watching Benito Santiago strike out and feeling remarkably strange that any baseball game could end in a tie, let alone the Midsummer Classic.
