Last night, Major League Baseball’s brightest stars competed in the All-Star Game, a showcase of the league’s top talent unrivaled (in this writer’s opinion) in American sports. The National League lost, 8-6, but it still should have been a celebratory night as the Brewers sent five players, including four first timers, to the Midsummer Classic after a record breaking first half.
And it might have been, but for the actions of one of those men, Brewers ace reliever Josh Hader. Incredibly offensive tweets from Hader’s teenage years were uncovered during the game, and just like that, the story of the 2018 Milwaukee Brewers took a disastrous left turn into scandal.
