+ Lucky Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The 2023 All-Star game provided viewers with a look at the worst uniforms ever to grace a baseball field. Then FOX ruined it further by featuring miked players prominently on the screen while the game was played. I wanted to see the game, not these gimmicks. I didn't make it to the 5th inning.

Alpha714 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Agree. I liked to see each guy in his own uniform instead of looking at their sleeve to see from what team. The miked thing fails in what it needs to do more times than it works. BuffaloKyle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloKyle Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I was thinking the same thing last night! The uniforms were terrible, the announcers were horrible. And the overall game was boring too. + Lucky and thomas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samhexum Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I don't think I've watched the game since I was 10. I thought it was a pointless exhibition then, and never changed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to decide home field advantage for the world series so wasn't always totally pointless but now it is. samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ purplekow Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 It had the feel of a Sunday afternoon beer softball league game. Uniforms almost universally hid any sign of an athletic body underneath and all the glad-handing and frivolity of the players made it clear that this was an exhibition game that had out lived its usefulness. It was once a rare opportunity to see Mickey Mantle and Sandy Koufax face one another. Now with interleague play more common than ever, the sense of excitement over league loyalty no longer exists. The least they could do is have the players wearing tight shorts. samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked that it decided home field advantage, but apparently the players hated it. That said, even when the ASG used to matter, I couldn't bring myself to watch it. samhexum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
