Let's put aside the question of whether the fans select the right players. Should players in the starting line up be allowed to play for 9 innings? When the All Star game first started players like Ted Williams and Stan Musial played all 9 innings. Williams hit a famous home run to win one of the games. Now a starting player gets pulled after 3 or 4 innings. I understand the concept of giving different players a chance to play, but at the same time it can insure the very best players may be on the bench if the game is decided in the 8th or 9th inning. Any thoughts?
