As if it weren’t enough to feature the game’s top players in the only All-Star game in all the pro sports with any real implications, Major League Baseball and Fox have decided to spice up the contest with a few tweaks. Onion Sports lists the most intriguing:
Warning track covered with red carpet, celebrities
Every fan in attendance mic’d up
Basepath will have translucent blue glow to show viewers where baserunners need to go
Clean uniforms
To avoid dull, tedious, or awkward moments during broadcast, Fox promises never to point the cameras at Bud Selig
All-Stars will rifle balls into the stands during the new Line Drive Derby
Three Doors Down or some similar band will sing some song while they show videos of diving catches
Yankee Stadium to be imploded during seventh inning
Mercury column at first base will measure how much pressure the first baseman is applying to it
Game will determine if American League representative will win World Series at home or on the road
