The American League uses designated hitters, and National League fans consider that a heinous act of heresy upon a sacred shrine. The N.L. makes pitchers to come to the plate, often to strike out or bunt, which combine to bore A.L. fans like soccer with a stick. Can't we all just get along ... just for one mid-summer exhibition game? "No" says commissioner Bud Selig, who put some value in the All-Star Game, opening another can of worms as fans from each league now have a reason to sabotage the All-Star ballots of the "other" league. To aid in the anarchy, TSN is providing a voter's guide to the 2003 Un-All-Star team.
