	Bucky Dent proved last year that you don't need great numbers
to be on the All-Star team. As a matter of fact, he wasn't even starting
for the Yankees when he got voted into the All-Star Squad. It should be
obvious by now that All-Star balloting is nothing more than a popularity
contest and that the quality of baseball played at these All-Star games
is at best marginal. Since it is merely an exhibition game, who cares if
Fernado is in or not. And I don't see how you NL fans can use these meaningless
games as the proof of NL superiority. Since AL clobbered NL this year,
I suppose AL is the superior league then.
