I wish that I could select other position players to be the DH. If that were the case, my 3B in the AL would be Adrián Beltré and Mike Moustakas would be the DH.

My initial 2015 All-Star ballot
All-Star voting is live online. My first ballot--which as always is comprised both of players I think are deserving and players I like--is as follows:
I wish that I could select other position players to be the DH. If that were the case, my 3B in the AL would be Adrián Beltré and Mike Moustakas would be the DH.

Please, no more Mo.
The Yankees better not make the playoffs. If they do, I might not be able to watch. I just don't think I can stomach any more gushing over Mariano Rivera.
Just take a look at a sample of what baseball fans had to endure last night:
There was more. Much more. It started early, in the All-Star pregame show, and didn't stop until my late local news took over the airwaves.
Now, I have to say that Rivera is

Starting the All-Star Game is quite an honor...
But will it make people recognize you? Matt Harvey investigates:

Don't let the Twins branding fool you, I'm also wearing a Rockies hat and rooting for the NL tonight!
"THIS TIME IT MATTERS"
Didn't the All-Star game matter back in 1970 when Pete Rose ruined Ray Fosse's career?
The All-Star Game is enough of a gimmick in and of itself. Here's hoping that when Derrick Hall becomes the next MLB Commissioner, he throws out the asinine gimmick of having the All-Star Game determine home field advantage in the World Series.
Still, I have seen worse slides into home...

Before we look ahead to this year's Midsummer Classic, don't forget to revisit The Commish's incredible All-Star experience from a year ago. Best OSITF post ever!

Sunday SIERA
Bud Selig has it all wrong. Home field advantage for the World Series needs to be decided by a bunt competition!
From the video's YouTube description:
Before the Home Run Derby, some of the All-Stars held a bunt competition. Each player had 4 chances to lay down a bunt inside the point areas up either baseline. KIA's Lee Yong-gyu won. Lotte's Shane Youman came in last, but still got an interview (starts at 22:24).
A few observations:
