It is the comic strip 'Tank McNamara' by Jeff Millar & Bill Hinds, dated 7/4/84: (reprinted (sort of) without permission): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scene 1: Office of the Baseball Commssioner Voice from office: ..and who's to say that the fans AREN'T qualified to vote on the All-Star team? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scene 2: Restaurant, 2 females eating dinner with All-Star ballots in hand First Female: ...Cal Ripken,Jr.? What position does he play? Second Female: Who knows and who cares. He's a FOX! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- With this attitude prevalent (?) among baseball fans, now you know why all the best players don't get picked for the All-Star game, just the best looking ones!
