Start the season with the All-Star Game - My latest for The Hardball Times
In my latest for The Hardball Times I tiptoe into the realm of changing baseball tradition. It's a dangerous thing to do, but hear me out. The All Star Game should START the season.
There's too much going on at the beg of the season- ie: hockey, basketball... people have split focus. I think people need a few months of baseball to be excited about it (hardcore fans excepted, of course). I like what you're saying about getting the energy up at the start of the season- but that could be accomplished by better marketing of the sport- making that opening day a holiday everywhere. a boston fan, i celebrate it as such.
