Baseball All Star Game Knowledge Base
2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Game on UK Television Channel? Will there be a UK Television Channel broadcasting the 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star game? I recently re-located to the UK and I am kicking myself that I may miss the MLB All-Star Game (especially since it is being held in St. Louis this year and that is my home town),
Major League Baseball All Star Game tie? What would happen? If the All Star Game should end in a tie tonite the way it did in 2002, which league would have home field advantage in the World Series? I know this isn't likely, but please answer the question based upon the assumption that it does happen. Thanks.
Where can I find some info about the major league baseball 2009 all-star game? What I am looking for is the top 5 players with the most votes for the all-star game for the positions catcher, first base, second base, third base, and shortstop for each league. I am also looking for the top 15 outfielders with the most votes for the all-star game for each league. I have been checking the newspaper for the last few days and the newspaper did not tell me. Somebody please answer my question.
Did you hear the boos that BARACK OBAMA got at the baseball All Star game ? There were some people who actually booed him. It was not that many though. Most of the people there gave him a big cheer. The city of Saint Louis adored him greatly. So what else is new. Anyway. Our country will get back on its feet once again in spite of the chaos. What do you think about that.................
Am I the only one out there, who misses the video game "All Star Baseball" by Acclaim? I asked this under Baseball, but now I want to see what gamers, who play sports games think. Was there ever a better MLB Baseball game made that encompassed as much of the entire experience of Major Leaugue Baseball? The final edition made ASB '05 included "Fielde Cam" which no one has been able to re-create. Expansion Mode, creating a team from scratch and ADDING them to the existing league, expansion draft and all. Minor Leagues, Amateur Draft, Rule 5 Draft, Payrolls with Market discrepancies, the list goes on & on. I've played every game made since, and promptly went out and traded them in. The best baseball game I've played since, is MVP '06 NCAA Baseball by EA, but that's a College game and their MLB games never matched Acclaim. 2K Sports. WEEEEAAAK! I keep playing ASB '05. And I always stop playing a sports game when the next crop arrives. Not this one though. It's just superior. Except in Graphics. Anyone else feel the same? Well I Guess so. ??????????
How are baseball players selected to the all star game? Is it really totally by the fans? Because I've been thinking about it and usually fans of a team would usually vote for the players on their team. Therefore, wouldnt the team with the most fans have their players selected to the All-star game? But when I look around (at least in 2008) players like David Wright and Jose Reyes weren't selected for the All-star game even though they play for New York which have a lot of people, and the Mets have a lot of fans. Plus, D. Wright and Reyes are great players themselves.
Is Baseball's All-Star Game the only one worth watching? The NBA and NHL All-Star Games are offensive explosions, with none of the defense that wins titles in those leagues. And the NFL's Pro Bowl is as close to meaningless a contest as you can get in North American sports. The players don't want to play (they just like the Hawaii vacation), and everybody else from ownership to the fans doesn't want to see their players get hurt in an exhibition.
How do baseball fans still vote for Barry Bonds for the all-star game? Baseball fans unite, do what it takes to keep Barry Bonds out of the starting lineup for the all-star game. After all the crap he has put baseball through, why do fans keep voting for him? Before the most recent numbers, Bondsy was third in voting. Alfonso Soriano has recently passed him by a small margin, and as a Cub fan, I want him to get the spot....but vote for anybody to help Bonds fall. OK....so we got a bunch of Bonds lovers on answers today...after ur accusations on Ruth and Aaron, I hate each person you mentioned, Sosa killed the Cubs, McGwire tarnished Maris, and Palmeiro (who I respected a lot) broke my heart. Your right, Bud Selig handled everything wrong....he should have got some balls and spoke out against Bonds and his record. Oh ya, screw Bud Selig for putting SOMETHING in place to control the steroid epidemic. At least now there is a halfway decent random drug testing policy that has caught a couple of surprises red handed. No baseball isn't a church full of saints but there are some good hearted people in the game who give back to the community they are a part of. What does Bonds do....he earns his paycheck, plays when he feels like it, and acts like an *******. Fine, I don't give a crap, don't vote for Soriano, just vote for someone who would represent the all-star game and give the game of basebal some pride. "professionalism and dedicated allegiance to the game he has committed the last 20 some years of his life to"? If he is a proffessional and dedicated to alleginance, let him say it. All I would like to hear from the man is "I have not used steroids" or "I have used steroids" If he would just say one of the above things there would be a whole lot of crap. Answers...that is all I want to hear as a fan of the game. dedicated the last 20 years of his life.....ya lets talk dedicated to his teammates...nothing like blaming a teammate for using one of his drugs (Mark Sweeney). Ya I'd like to call the tattletale one of my teammates. I'm happy to see that I've had a few people agree with me now. I was getting worried that I was the only person who felt the way I did. I hope I didn't offend anyone, over anything. I was at first just curious what kind of reaction I would get by asking this question. I really did think that EVERYONE felt the way I did. And then once I started getting some of the answers my argumentative attitude kicked in. Thank you to everyone who's answered so far....I still feel the way I feel (Barry is not getting a half a vote from me) and feel several (maybe a majority of people) agree with me, but a couple of you who disagreed with me do seem like legitimate knowledgable baseball fans, so I will accept and respect your answers. My final argument....steroids are against the rules. I know Barry could have hit a lot of home runs without them. I just wish I knew how many he would have hit. That I'll (and we'll) never know. Oh and Rosco, you have a deal.
