The governing body of baseball consistently deviates from its central product, showcasing a form of self-loathing. The All-Star Game highlighted a peculiar occurrence where the Most Valuable Player was not reflective of significant performance. The game included components that have little historical or artistic value, leading to criticisms of the league's priorities. A notable event was a faux recreation of Henry Aaron's iconic home run. Overall, the event symbolized a larger disconnection within the industry, likened to a societal metaphor of avoidance and distraction.
The Most Valuable Player in Tuesday night's exhibition officially went 0-for-2 with a walk during that game, and the box score does not reflect what people are discussing.
This is a league that hates its product so much that it reliably works as hard as possible to avoid performing its very reason for existence.
The end result was as correct a metaphor for the nation as a whole as there could be: Baseball Until We Can Do Something Else.
The most enjoyable part of any All-Star Game is trying to figure out what the tiebreaker rule was.
