All Star Game Reactions |
|
The media tells us that fans don’t really care about baseball’s All Star Game. I’m the counterpoint to that – I loved the All Star Game as a kid, and I still enjoy it today. The ability to see all the great players congregating in one place makes the event bigger than the Super Bowl […]
