When the “This one Counts” stuff started for the All-Star Game, it was officially labelled a two year “experiment”. This was for the 2003 & 2004 seasons. After that it was going to be re-examined by the Player’s Union.
Well, it happened in 2005, and I looked for info; I never saw any kind of announcement from the end of the 04 season through the All-Star game in 05 that it was renewed. What is the status of that? Was it just renwed for one year, two more, or is it an indefinite renewal like the DH is?
Isn’t that still technically an “experiment”, too – running since 1972? Anyone heard anything on this? If you have, please let me know.
