That's just crazy. Has David ever pitched in his life? Wouldn't he
hurt his arm? Would he be able to get anything over the plate?
Maybe they need to change the rules for the All Star game that, after
a certain number of innings, 2 position players and 2 pitchers can be
used again. That is, if they are still there. Did I hear that some
players left when they were taken out of the game?
