B. One of the neatest things about the All Star Game is that the players all wear their own uniforms (at least since 1934). It was news when Willie Mays wore Ernie Banks batting helmet in 1965.

C. It’s unnecessary. It makes sense in the NFL Pro Bowl and NBA All Star game. You have to quickly identify your teammates. Not true in baseball.

D. Is anyone REALLY going to spend a couple of hundred bucks for these double knit monstrosities?

Edit to add: I was wrong. Some of these pieces of shit are priced at $489.99! These aren’t even game worn. The game hasn’t been played, yet.
