He should probably stick to basketball. (Where he would light you up).

I never watch All Star games in any sport. Baseball's is probably the best because it means something. The winning league gets home field advantage in the World Series.

UPDATE: Sports Illustrated has a great cover this week, their annual "Where Are They Now?" issue. It's a picture of Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan during the Mets' amazing 1969 season. Seaver went 26-7 and won the Cy Young award. Ryan was still a wild fastballer who could throw it 100 mph but couldn't find the plate. He was their fifth starter. Seaver was 24 and Ryan was 22. In the World Series they dropped the heavily favored Orioles in 5 games.
