Someone explain something to me...

This game is for the fans.. fans vote who they want to see!! Actually it stinks because the games actually count for something!! I think the players should vote!

Players vote on the backups, which means those deserving will get in, but will play a less significant role usually..and if the game is for the fans, dont make it count! Just let the team with the best record get home field

Honestly, the All-Star game is for the fans. Good, I get that. That's why the game should have no significance. It shouldn't give home field advantage in the WS unless the voting is done right. That's just my opinion.

People actually care about the All-Star game?

Considering home field is on the line....unless you are a fan of the Royals or Pirates, than yes you care

I'm quoting this so I can have proof that Dan and I agreed on something.

Should be voted on by the players,surely its a greater honor to voted by your peers than ballot stuffing fans.

lol well look at the home run derby polls, lol the AL has Joe Mauer as their top vote getter, i know the derby means nothing, but mauer isnt exactly known for the long ball , its all a matter of popularity, this year it just happens to be the AL all stars Vs. The Phillies
