"I have only one request to make of my colleagues currently preparing to pretend Major League Baseball's All-Star Game, and the glorified carnival midway leading up to Tuesday's event, actually matters to anyone except whomever it is each participant has hired to keep track of his incentive bonuses. Please, all of you, don't tell me that it's really hot where you are. MLB put this year's game in Kansas City, the poster franchise for revenue sharing. Once upon a time, back when there was a reserve clause, the New York Yankees used to loot the Kansas City Athletics so badly that the Midwest team could never compete."
