Just after the weekend of the NBA All-Star Game, the third baseman of the Minnesota Twins, Josh Donaldson affirmed that the MLB has the “only legitimate All-Star Game” , since, according to the player, in baseball things are not taken lightly.
Donaldson, who did not refer to other sports, believes that no one can question the seriousness with which an MLB All-Star Game is taken when a pitcher receives the first batter with a pitch at 251 miles per hour (MPH).
In that sense, the infielder, although he did not mention any league of any specific sport, did take the time to exclude hockey from his criticism and made it clear that watching the other mid-season games is a “shame.” ”.
“Baseball is the only sport that has a legitimate All-Star Game. You can’t take it easy when a guy shoots 100 (MPH). All other sports except hockey should stop having them. It’s actually embarrassing to watch,” Donaldson said on his Twitter account.
During his career of 11 seasons in The Majors, the third baseman has been selected to three All-Star Games, has been Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the American League in 872 and he has won two silver bats.
In turn, it exhibits a lifetime average of .269 with 251 home runs, 728 runs batted in, 739 scored and an OPS of .550 wearing the uniforms of the Oakland Athletics, Toronto Blue Jays, Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves and Twins.
