Following a thrilling home run derby on Monday night, excitement for the All-Star game on Tuesday is mounting. The American League and National League will square off in an exhibition with fewer implications than in years past, but still a contest which earns its title, the “midsummer classic”.
The All-Star game used to determine home field advantage in the World Series, but that has since been changed as a part of various baseball reforms this past offseason. Now, the focus is where it should be, on the all-stars who have earned their way to a stage of this magnitude.
