It's a popularity contest. Everyone knows it's meaningless.
and for that obvious reason, the voting of the fans should have a weighted factor applied. Fan voting should amount to a minority of the reason someone is an allstar. Voting by the players should have a factor in it with voting by the managers (none by the owners) having the largest emphasis.
