Baseball's All-Star Game is coming up, and that means it's time for Vermont Edition's Annual Baseball Show. After a dreadful start, the Red Sox are now battling the Yankees and the Rays for the lead of the American League East. And across the game, debates continue over the value of interleague games, the use of instant replay and whether teams in the American and National Leagues should be realigned.

We discuss these issues and how the season has unfolded with politicians Kurt Wright and Doug Racine, Time-Argus sports editor Anna Grearson and VPR's Mitch Wertlieb.
