I like to think of the All-Star in terms of a character in an Albert Camus novel. It seems to be going through an existential crisis as it tries to conjure up meaning and purpose for itself in a post-MLB.tv, post-interleague baseball universe. Major League Baseball has tried expanded rosters, representatives from every team, and World Series homefield advantage stakes, but still there is a sense of "why bother?" surrounding the game. Sure, it's not nearly as bad as the Pro-Bowl when some of the biggest NFL stars faff about for sixty minutes and sure, people still tune in, making it the most-watched baseball game of the year until the playoffs start.
