I agree 100%.The all star game was huge when I was a kid.There was no ESPN,so I didn't get to see to much baseball other then Phillies games,and the game of the week. It was cool to see the American League All Stars.
Now with the ability to see any team with cable,ESPN,MLB network,
it's not special any more.I will still watch a little bit of it,but its not the same.
