Why not a city with better behaved fans, say Philly?
I would have thought that the ASG would (with today’s 30 teams) roughly visit each ballpark once ever 30 years. If it’s not in any kind of order, what exactly is the criteria anyway? Are some ballparks never going to host an ASG? Are others favored for frequent ASGs?
Maybe it’s an affirmative action move to encourage the Mets to go to another World Series and win it. Wasn’t the last World Series they won back in 1969 against the Orioles?
They could try the same thing with the Cubs.
At the hideous Hall of Shame, Citi Field. I’d rather watch a ballgame in Helen Thomas’s bedroom.
Sad-or maybe happy - to say I remember that first all star game at shea- and as a young man was so proud our own guy Ron Hunt was the second base starter.
