Fun Fact of the Day:
As of right now the Royals have players leading in all-star votes at C, 1B, 3B, SS, LF, and RF. It may be due to their cinderella story in 2014, but despite most of them being deserving of the starting role at the Great American Ballpark in July this year, the voting seems to be pretty bias. There have been two times in history where a team has had at least 6 players named starters in the mid-summer classic. The first was in 1939 in which the Yankees had Red Rolfe (3B), Joe DiMaggio (OF), George Selkirk (OF), Joe Gordon (2B), Bill Dickey (C), and Red Ruffing (SP). The second incident was in 1957 as the Reds stuffed the ballot with 7 starters: Ed Bailey (C), Johnny Temple (2B), Don Hoak (3B), Roy McMillan (SS), Gus Bell (OF), Wally Post (OF), and Frank Robinson (OF). However, the MLB commissioner, Ford Frick, took Post as well as Bell out of the lineup, replacing them with Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. Sometimes when the voting is absurd like that, baseball needs to step in, so its not so unfair.
