Here we go again. Yes, it is that time of the year where we start the voting for this years Major League All-Star Game which will be held in beautiful New York City. One small problem though. The game is still about 2 MONTHS away! Everyone can start their 25 vote limit now, but come May 13 you will have already finished a week ago.
You see I love the All-Star Game just because you get to see guys that play on teams that hate each other working together just so they could have the advantage come October. That is even if their team finishes last in their division.
Yes, I have started my voting for those who were wondering. However, while filling out the ballot I realized that several players that I intended on voting for were not on even though they are on the 25-man roster. Look at the Chicago White Sox, yeah I’m biased, because when you look at who their outfielders are Jerry Owens’ name is on the list. Hey, if you didn’t know he is sitting pretty in Triple AAA Charlotte right now.
While studying this ballot even further I had to ask where is Jacoby Ellsbury for the Red Sox. This is where I had to pick between outfielders as my one and only write in.
Hopefully, this years All-Star Game is more enjoyable then the ballot has been. After all, once the Yankees finish their season it will be bye-bye Yankee Stadium.
