Quiz results: All-Star Game
With mere hours to go before first pitch in the 2011 All-Star Game, the polls are closed (well, not really—you can vote, but it’s too late to be counted in the “official” tally).
Here are the most up-to-date results of the question that asked about tonight’s game:
Who are you rooting for? Percentage AL 46.9% NL 53.1%
Unlike the last Pop Quiz, which asked what to do with the DH, where the NL-style pitcher batting dominated the voting, this poll was quite close. However, in the end, the National League gets the slight edge. (And, no, I didn’t stuff the ballot box.)
Regardless, I think we can all hope for a good, tight game—and no tie!
Greg has been a writer and editor for The Hardball Times since 2010. In his dreams, he's the second coming of Ozzie Smith. Please don't wake him up.
Could the small difference be in the fact that the NL has 2 more teams?
14/30=46.67%
16/30=53.33%
Excellent point, JK. I hadn’t considered that.
That does kinda make it a tie. Okay, everyone throw your hands in the air like Bud Selig.
