This is what should be done:

Have an election by the fans for a mid-year (or whenever) "All-Star"
exhibition, so that everyone can see their favorites.  Then, after the World
Series or during the off season (or whenever), the respective leagues should
assemble their best team of players, with no help from the fans, and have a
truly competitive series.  A sufficient monetary reward to each player of the
winning team should assure that the games, as well as the selection of the
teams, is very competitive.  Such a series should, theoretically, be the sport
of baseball played at its very finest - a real treat to any true fan of the
game.  

Play ball!
