Used to be that baseball was the one sport where the All-Star Game was worth seeing.
Not anymore.
From 18 million viewers in 1988 down to 7.5 million last year fans are losing interesting in the Midsummer Classic.
I don't blame them. I want to see stars not expanded rosters full of underserving players. Each team has to be represented. Why? I get enough of the Padres during the season.
I may be out of step being a long-time traditionalist going back to the early 1960s, but I can't stand drummed up gimmicks. That's what the event has become.
