10 Reasons to Like The All Star Game

10 If they replay footage of the Homerun Derby a couple of years back in Fenway, that can‘t be a bad thing.

9 We all like complaining (or should that be debating?) about who gets in and who is left out.

8 Good players on bad teams get a chance to play in the spotlight.

7 It’s the ‘best’ players in the world (except for the Cubans) all on the same field at the same time.

6 It marks out generations of great ball players - You can look back at previous All Star teams and imagine just how special those years were.

5 A full house in Detroit doesn’t happen often.

4 It’s the one time in the year when baseballs surly millionaires can smile on the field when they are robbed by a moment of brilliance.

3 Its so nice to watch a game and not care enough about it to not risk a coronary.

2 It gives Bud Selig another thing to tinker with and gimmick to death.

1 Its MLB’s big PR showcase for its talent around the world.
