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. Steve Huang Operating System Lab Hewlett Packard, CSY Cupertino, CA
