White Sox All-Star game candidates, and other fictional creatures
2011-06-28 08:51:00 The All-Star game is kind of silly. The fans vote for the starters, and that inevitably results in a great deal of the team being determined via popularity contest, and anyone who's been to high school knows that popularity is distributed with little rhyme nor reason. That's not good news for a team like the White Sox averaging under 24,000 fans per home game and not exactly drawing national attention for being 3 games under .500. I suppose people are gawking at Adam Dunn's 2011 like one would stop and stare if they saw a bus fall off a freeway ramp onto a Target.... but you don't vote that kind of thing into an All-Star Game.
Create An All-Star Experience
2011-06-20 14:00:00 Prior to selecting Post Season tournament teams the first decision is selecting a Manager and the Coaches. All Star Managers and Coaches are entrusted with the league's best youth baseball players and it is the most important and visible leadership position within the league. Players will look to them for direction and encouragement and parents will entrust them with their most precious possession. The Managers and coaches can inspire players who are challenged by other talented teammates to step up their game and perform to the best of their ability. This can begin a trajectory for the entire future - on and off the field.When my oldest son was 12 he was a fairly versatile player and would play multiple...

Starlin Castro: The Chicago Cubs 21-Year-Old All-Star

Yet this and several previous games have been packed with old, washed-up NBA players. Scottie Pippen, Jalen Rose, A.C. Green--these are not celebrities.

On the All-Star Game stage, Rose, in his bright yellow shoes, led the Eastern Conference against the West. It wasn't quite a battle of good vs. evil, but it was a big moment. Rose was the first Bull to start an All-Star Game since that guy named Michael Jordan, and he had a lot to live up to. He's been gaining support as the NBA's MVP and his moves have become highlight reel staples. Could he match the buzz his reputation has created? Let's check....
