Ever since, like the end of the first two weeks of the season, whenever you visit the home page of your favorite Major League Baseball(R) team there has been a section dedicated for voting for the All Star Game. This is long before you know if anyone is going to have a good year or not, but anyway it might shake out, great, good, average or sucky, they want you to vote a straight ticket of hometown players.
About 2 weeks ago they added this little image to the background of the home page. So not only do they want you to vote for everyone on your favorite team, whether they suck or not, they now want you to vote for everyone on some other team in the other league no matter their worth too. And how did they determine the pairings? Red Sox & Giants? I checked about another half dozen teams homepages and no others have this banner aligning them with an opposite league team. Is this an experiment to see if has any appreciable difference in the voting for either team’s players?
Well, for the first time in recent memory, I decided to vote for the players to go to the All Star game. I did not vote the straight Red Sox ticket (although 3 FRS players did make the cut), nor did I vote the straight Giants ticket (I voted the No Giant ticket.)
