This Year's MLB All-Star Selections Are Proof That Theo Epstein Is a Baseball God
The MLB All-Star selection show is a terrifically boring exercise in barely-feigned shock and some of the more vacuous interviews ever conducted. And yet, for you, dear Tablet readers, I watched most of it last night. But don’t weep for me—it’s my cross to bear.
Perhaps the most striking takeaway from this year’s selections (besides, of course, Giants catcher Buster Posey over the Nats’ Wilson Ramos), was the unspoken presence of Theo Epstein, baseball’s version of the boy who could, did, and continues to do. (The All-Star game takes place next Tuesday.)
