Do You Care About the All-Star Baseball Game?

i watched the whole thing!! i love baseball. to watch anyways. go national league!!! :D giants fan <3

No. I only like NFL.

Not so much this one bevcause of so many trying to get out of going.

I only watch baseball with my grandpa.

Determines home field advantage in World Series.

Yes, because this year, the Cincinnati Reds have four players representing the club for the National League team: Joey Votto [first base], Brandon Phillips [second base], Scott Rolen [injury replacement for third base], and Jay Bruce [outfield]. Besides, I am a SPORTS FIEND!

What all-star baseball game?

But sports aren't my thing.

Mickey Mantle, Harmon Killebrew, Stan Musial and Duke Snider are no more. MLB lost my atteniton when they went on strike. The Steroids use and spoiled attitudes of the rich over rated players can never bring most fans back.

I'm with you, those were some of my favorite baseball cards in my collection when I was growing up!! I couldn't wait to watch the All-Star games back in the '50s!!

it's nice for the fans, but I don't watch it. I watch Pirates to watch Andrew McCutchen do his magic. Heard he got into the ASGame. He plays like superman, I'm not a MLB fan, but always nice to watch someone really good at his position. He goes for the ball, no worries about what happens to his body making the catch! He is Mr. Excitement in my book!

Used to be a big fan, until Steinbrenner showed up in the 70s and destroyed the game for the average fan. Haven't been to a game since Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gherig's consecutive game streak. Don't go to games and don't watch it. It's turned boring. The all star game is nothing but a big show. It's boring as well. Everytime you think that it's going to be a 30-29 game, it's flat and boring, period.

I <3 baseball! I <3 baseball players even more. Though I am less invested as there are no players from my home team this year. *smh*

I don't care that much about the game itself. But, it is cool seeing most of the best players play against each other.

My dad played Pro ball in the early 30's. My brother played semi-pro. I played semi-pro, my son pitched in college so we are a baseball family. I quit wating or attending games a few years back when salaries became rediculous, and it became a bunch or corporations scamming fans, with a bunch of cry baby players of which most couldn't hit a watermelon.........

That is Truly Sad that only 16% of people care about the all star game. It is so great to see Teams come together and play on the same team! If you don't care about the All Star game then you are not a true Baseball Fan!

I love baseball but i mean the All-Star game is just fun for the players..something to relax before the big night NL vs. AL League.

ever since they added incentive (home field advantage in WS to the winning league) it is worth watching again.

I like it.

I did. But Selig has ruined the game.

Start with the "It counts" lunacy. But when you run that by the fact that managers don't manage to win the game, but as if its still an exhibition putting every player on the roster in the game for some face time - Jesus Christ thats awful.

And then theres the flustering over who should be on and who shouldn't. Well, its the All Star game, not the All Stats game. People want to see stars. There should be a balance between the drawing power of established stars and their names and new comers whos numbers deserve a start.

Then with so many players ineligible and with the team rosters so big too many people are becoming All Stars. Somewhere over 80 guys get the designation this year? Really? How many no namers with decent stats are getting on the roster?

I've been to two All Star games and the spectacle is cool. And thats what it should be, an exhibition - a celebration of the sport. Its turned in to a bloated and perverse festival of silliness.

Bud Selig is the worst commissioner in the history of the sport when it comes to the on field product.

i dont get baseball at all

I never got into baseball. I tried once, but it didn't take.

Nah. This season most of the stars are either injured or have begged out. I think it would be better if they played it in the off season in Hawaii or someplace like that.

first!
