Major League Baseball persists in diluting the significance of the All-Star Game through an excessive amount of interleague competitions
The Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star Game, once a much-anticipated event, is now seen as a shadow of its former self by many fans. The structure of the game, it seems, has not stopped its destruction.
Over the years, the All-Star Game has been annually diminished by excessive interleague play, a decision that has led to the National League and the American League becoming increasingly indistinguishable. This blurring of lines has had a significant impact on the standings, with many crucial games now taking place between teams from different leagues.
The result? A watered-down All-Star Game that no longer truly represents the best of each league.
But this isn't the only issue. The All-Star Game has also been a contributing factor to jacked up ticket prices, pricing many fans out of the opportunity to attend.
Rob Manfred & Co., the league's governing body, have not intervened to prevent these ruins. In fact, they have allowed them to continue, and some argue that they are even using an artificial fix mix to cover them up. However, these allegations have gone unnoticed by the general public.
Despite the ruins, if you're among those who still care, you can search for the games on TV. But with approximately 25 million fans having abandoned the All-Star Game, it's clear that the game's appeal is waning.
The origins of the All-Star Game can be traced back to Bud Selig's tenure as commissioner. While it was initially presented as a gift to fans, it was primarily a gift to team owners, providing an additional source of revenue.
The rules for the MLB playoffs related to interleague games were changed by MLB itself, but the exact timing and individuals involved in these changes remain unclear.
In Greek mythology, Eusipidis, the god of thirst, would have used water to put out a fire. One can't help but wonder if such a solution could have prevented the ruins of the All-Star Game.
As the MLB All-Star Game continues to erode, it remains to be seen whether Rob Manfred & Co. will take steps to revitalise this once-great event. For now, fans can only hope for a return to the glory days of the All-Star Game.
