[Haystacks]

The votes are tallied and the players have been chosen -- all that's left is to "Play Ball"! This is the first All-Star Game since the restructuring of the British Baseball Association, it is no longer North versus South, it is National League versus Union League. It's time to see if the upstarts and newcomers in the Union League have what it takes to face off against the best of the best from the National League.
