I know back in the day the All Star Selection was run by like some furniture polish company.
But this was amazing:

It’s always been a marketing stunt.
You’re just upset because it’s no longer a marketing stunt aimed at your demographic.

In a world where the Pro Bowl has turned into flag football and the NBA ASG is now first to 200, it was great to see teams care enough that Dusty Baker challenged two calls.

So you’re saying they have room for a 600 mil/10 year deal with a once in a lifetime pitcher/DH and would still only have the third highest payroll in the league?
Also, the Angels are spending this much to be horrible again?

And yet the Angels are paying the mega discounted rate for Ohtani still. That's a super high cost per win, lol.

But it shouldn't mean anything concrete. It is and always has been a fun little exhibition game. It didn't grow to its importance because it had any material effect on the real season. But one year the fun little exhibition game ended in a tie, because they had already played everyone, because that's what everyone is there to see, all of the favorites play in one game, and everyone lost their minds.

The 2002 ASG still makes me sad. New home of the Brewers, Selig handed the reigns of the Brewers to his daughter, "hometown" commissioner, and then that farce of a "well everyone gets to pitch" and they're all out of pitchers.
They should have just allowed a couple pitchers to re-enter (or allow already subbed out position players to pitch). Ending in a tie was the dumbest thing ever.

One of the better IJ punishments they’ve done.

The Orioles are in first place for the first time after the All-Star break since Aug, 15, 2016.

And the Yankees are solely in last for the first time since 1990 or so, I think.
