The fans select who they know and like, not the player whom is truely playing in all star form. I propose that baseball have two all star games. Keep the one that they have now in the middle of the season. The fans will then get to see who they want play each other. Then when the season is over and after the World Series, play another all star game that the players select based on their performances through out the entire season. The players (and coaches) can only select players that are not on their own team. This way we will be able to see a true all star game and not just a popular star game. Its just an idea.....
