I stood behind the plate with MLB's ABS challenge system at the All-Star Game — and it changed how I see baseball

Watching a baseball pitch from behind home plate.

I love watching baseball. As a diehard Yankees fan, the last few years haven't been too kind, but that hasn't stopped me from loving the game.

So when I got the chance to go to see the MLB All-Star Game and actually step behind the plate to see pitches from an umpire's perspective, I practically jumped out of my chair in excitement.
