While the All Star Game is not taken as seriously by the players as it was 40+ years ago, it's still the best All Star Game of the major sports. The NFL basically got rid of their game, the NBA game is a defense-free joke and the NHL switched to a 3 on 3 tournament format to renew interest.

Or the players could play more of the game and the rosters could be normal size. Even 26 players for one game is ridiculous. I agree with BeercanCollector, just cancel all the AS games at this point.
