If I could be perfectly honest with you for a second, the All-Star Game does little for me. Don’t get me wrong as I enjoy baseball and the atmosphere surrounding the festivities is cool. Monday’s Home Run Derby definitely had an enjoyable atmosphere. The Future’s Game is always a treat to watch, albeit the event was on a Sunday with regular season action still active.
Alas, the actual Mid-Summer Classic does little for me as there is little incentive to the game itself. The best I’d hope for is a wacky play that defies expectations. Of course, these wacky plays would somehow avoid player injury in my mind.
