Compared to Nippon Professional Baseball, which simply gathers star players from various teams to play a few games and call it a day, Major League Baseball's All-Star Game operation is more mature, more commercialized, and also shows more humanity.
Selected players are not only required to participate in the final day's main event but also have to complete a series of "tasks" such as Media Day, charity events, and Red Carpet Day. As star players voted in by fans, they have the responsibility and duty to give back to the fans and contribute to the promotion of baseball.
Take Media Day as an example, Major League Baseball officials have set up small booths with players' names in a venue, and anyone with a credential, whether from professional media like ESPN, Fox, YouTube baseball bloggers, or even some VIP ticket holder fans, are eligible to have face-to-face dialogues with their favorite stars.
