Mailing-it-in article on the All-Star Game
It’s that time of the year where writers huff and puff their way to phony outrage insofar as the All-Star Game is concerned. Why are these articles always limited to MLB? Is it for the same reason that PED are mostly about baseball, because our standards are so much higher for baseball?
At first I thought this was hyperbole:
In the biggest electoral fraud since the 2000 presidential election, Major League Baseball and its 30 teams are telling fans to choose All-Star Game lineups by voting up to 25 times.
But nope, that’s tame compared to the rest of the article. Anyway, not a single original thought in the entire article.
So, ignore that entire article, and give me YOUR original and inspired thoughts on the ASG. Here’s mine:
1. Have two games, so you have more players. Limit one game to the young players, say anyone under 25, and the other for the veterans.
2. When introducing players, no music. If there’s one thing that the World Cup has taught the world is that loudness does not equal party. Those horns sounded like death at the Big O, when there’d be only 15K-20K fans there, and those darn red horns would just echo throughout. Easily the single worst viewing experience imaginable.
3. Try new rules.
