Well, today at almost age 50 I decided that I'd heard enough national and east coast media belly aching about the All Star Game and decided I'm voting every day, 35x, from here on out. It's not that the Royals all deserve to play in the game. It's that all of a sudden they're acting as if it is somehow a travesty, when it apparently wasn't a travesty when I had to watch Jason Varitek or Mark Loretta or any number of east coast players in the ASG before now.....
It's always been a popularity contest. I remember sitting with paper ballots and my friends at the games when we were kids debating about what circle to poke out with our key...only to see people vote for all Cardinals or whatever next to me.
I have seen all sorts of east coast and west coast popularity selections who didn't deserve it and no one ever complained. Well, I just voted for Omar friggin Infante. 35x. I'll do it every day from now until voting is over.........And who inspired me to do it: Jon Heyman and Bob Nightengale.
