Major League Baseball is planning the All Star Game on July 14th. There was a time when the players voted for their fellow "stars" - sort of a jury of one's peers. But, of late, MLB has permitted the fans to elect the starting teams. And, incredibly, they are permitting each fan thirty-five ballots which has resulted in the cancellation of an estimated sixty million votes for alleged irregularities, etc. Talk about ballot stuffing! I am reminded of the fellow living in down state Illinois who said he would like to be buried in Cook County so he could continue to vote.
