MLB is eliminating paper ASG ballots. Voting was 80% online last year already. Trends, modernity, inevitability. But what fun is that?

Always felt like they probably just dumped 'em all. But maybe now they can have legitimate candidates on the ballot? Not just the guy that seemingly was the opening day starter because they held back someone else with an injury for 4-5 days?

First thing I thought when I read this is that the tickets season ticket holders get are also closer to extinction.

I'd bet anything that I haven't cast an MLB ASG ballot since Joe Frazier managed the Mets.

I seem to think I voted online once, probably out of momentary boredom. But the last time I cared about the All Star Game was before I had ever even heard of the Internet.
