Younger whippersnappers may not remember when there was no interleague play. That's when it was fun.
That was also before free agency was as rampant and more players stayed on one team their entire career.
It was great to see the AL stars play the NL stars, the only game that would happen outside of the world series.
That's when the All Star Game mattered.

Yeah, back in the days you was almost sure who was going to be playing in the All Star Game because like you said players stay with the teams longer and established reputation at their position.
