I'll watch but not the way I used to. I remember when I was a kid the ASG was one of the elite sporting events (at least for me) of the year. Now the MLB ASG is barely any better than the other sports' all star games (and only because the other sports' games are so awful).
I agree it doesn't have the cache it used to but it's miles better than the NFL Pro Bowl, I love football way more than baseball and even I don't bother watching that nonsense
I guess the MLB ASG just feels more fun because it's the middle of the season, there's still hope for everyone or something
and I know people detest that it decides home team for the World Series but I've got to admit it does add a bit more suspense to the outcome. As far as our guys getting more rest, except for Bryce they all rested last year at the break, how'd that work out for them?
