Part of the game's allure to me was to watch NL guys like Steve Carlton face the AL's Reggie Jackson or Jim Palmer face Pete Rose. Nowadays, with interleague play, I don't anticipate matchups as I did then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615282350326883644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-45010082588830045742015-07-13T17:27:08.995-04:002015-07-13T17:27:08.995-04:00As a kid...

But outside of last year, I can't remember the last time I made plans to watch the game.<br /><br />P.S.

I was very fortunate last year to attend the Futures Game (didn't have the $$ for the main event) at Target Field - the atmosphere during the whole All-Star week is tough to match. <br />I agree that it is silly to make the game "count" - I don't think that's why people watch the All-Star Game. I don't think they've ever do it, but I wish they would add some other skills competitions to the event - maybe something around base stealing or pinpoint control pitching.

With that being said I still like to watch it and look forward to seeing the Pirate first timers.
