Report: Baseball trying but fails with horrible Election Day idea

NBC Sports tells me that...

The regular All-Star voting will proceed as normal. Then, once that’s done, the the top three vote-getters at each position will be placed on a new ballot from which fans would then vote again during a single day to decide who starts.

Stop.

I get that baseball is trying to generate excitement but this is going to be nauseating.  Remember how annoying #FaceOfMLB was?

Now imagine 30 teams trying to get their guys elected to the ASG.  How annoying is THAT going to be.

Plus – we will have voted for 6 weeks or whatever it is, now we’re going to have another vote?

Unless the Rockies have their act together and get Murph a starting job I hate this idea.  You know the Mets don’t have THEIR act together…

Thanks Mets, I think I WILL #VoteMarkakis….

I appreciate that MLB is trying to branch out but this idea is someone in the social media department trying too hard.
