I'm long past the point of actually caring about who makes baseball's All-Star teams and who doesn't.
When I was a kid I looked forward to seeing all the game's icons on one field competing against one another on one special night. In an age when there was only a game-of-the-week and you followed the home team mostly on radio (God, am I dating myself or what?), I loved watching one league's great pitchers duel the other league's great hitters.
But now, in an age when local teams are on TV every night, in an age of SportsCenter and interleague play, baseball's annual company picnic has lost its pop like an aging power pitcher.
