All-Stars Prepare Questions for Obama By Alan Schwarz ST. LOUIS — Talk about pressure. Sure, the All-Star Game determines which league gets home-field advantage in the World Series, but about an hour before the first pitch on Tuesday night, players in both clubhouses will find themselves face-to-face with a certain baseball nut named Barack Obama. Which presents the question of questions: If players could ask one thing to the Fanatic in Chief, what would it be? Not surprisingly, the players’ choices might say more about their own states of mind than any answer from the president. — Miguel Tejada, Astros: “How does it feel to have all that power? — Prince Fielder, Brewers: “When do you get to just watch TV? When can you just sit and not talk to nobody?” — Trevor Hoffman, Brewers: “Did you think that things would slow down once you got into the White House?” — Zach Duke, Pirates: “What’s the highest bowling score you’ve gotten down there?” — David Wright, Mets: “Something about A.C.C. basketball. I know he hooped it up with the Tar Heels.” — Adrian Gonzalez, Padres: “Can you get us a college football playoff? — Brian McCann, Braves: “When’s the economy going to turn around?” — Carlos Pena, Rays: “Are you a see-it-to-believe-it person or a believe-it-to-see-it person?” — Mark Teixeira, Yankees: “Who was your favorite athlete growing up, when you were just a kid enjoying sports?” — Curtis Granderson, Tigers: “Are you tired? Do you get stressed?” — Michael Young: “How can I help?” bats.blogs.nytimes.com
