[@TapirBaseball]

I really appreciate it. I just have to keep making more videos haha.

[@EnviroBen]

Another W vid, and congrats on 1K man.

[@TapirBaseball]

Thank you very much!

Robin Yount declined the all-star game multiple times to go hunting with his friend

[@TapirBaseball]

Interesting, I found a lot of stuff of Gibson declining it but every time I look up why Yount didn't make it I couldn't find that. Thank you for the info.

Man, fan voting can be a problem when it comes to All-Star selections

[@TapirBaseball]

It has definitely brought us some weird selections.

Great video, Tapir. I wouldn’t say that the NL had a clear offensive MVP in ‘88. I respectfully believe that LA’s Orel Hershiser should have taken that year’s MVP in addition to his Cy Young. Also, I agree, many of Sister Sledge’s hits are overlooked! Haha

[@TapirBaseball]

Thank you so much! I have to agree when even Vin Scully didn't consider Kirk to be the MVP. Glad you agree with Sister Sledge! I really like their songs and I wish more of them were played outside of just "We Are Family".

In my 40 years of following baseball, I've never seen a pitcher carry a team all the way to the WS title like Hershiser did in 1988. From a Cards fan

Never understood why fans vote for all stars. You can't expect millions of people to be objective on a non serious issue.

[@TapirBaseball]

I think it gets more fans invested when they get to vote but I think their % of the vote should definitely be low.

Technically Kirk Gibson was an all star but he declined

[@TapirBaseball]

Yes, twice in his career. He still had double the amount of seasons where he got MVP votes than all star selections though.
