Now the ASG will be utterly meaningless again.
Always has been. The only thing it's good for is to give your battered players a few days of R&R.
The All Star Game will not be “meaningless again.” It will simply serve it’s original purpose, a chance for fans to see all of their favorites from around the country playing together in one game.
The ASG was always meaningless. Even when they were stupidly having it decide home field in the WS. You really think people are rooting for “their” league on the off their actual team goes all the way? It’s an exhibition game, completely pointless, but sometimes fun.
