Why are the NL teams in their road grays and being introduced first?

Why are they the road team when an NL park is hosting the All Star Game?

Well yeah but why doesn't the host stadium alternate in sync like it used to then?

If it's the AL's turn to be the home team why wouldn't they play in an AL park?

Pretty hostile reaction for the Giants players considering Petco is basically AT&T South during the average regular season game.

Ichiro was worse at baseball than Rod Carew (probably better than Gwynn though).

I think they picked non-white guys known as great contact hitters without a lot of power. It works for am award that honors the best contact hitter but not necessarily the best all-around hitter.

Tinfoil hat time - MLB's way of stopping the complaining about Pete Rose not being in the Hall of Fame is to trot him out to make an rear end of himself on every broadcast until all his supporters hate him.
