Today is the last day to cast your vote for All-Star game. I suggest you do vote if you watch it, but thats because I think you are smart enough to vote for players that actually will play, and deserve to play. David Ortiz and Chase Utley have not had All-Star first halves, and Ortiz has been injured so probably won’t be playing anyway. Chipper Jones deserves to be there, but probably won’t play either since he has been battling injuries and his team is in the race still. OK, Utley could be argued should still be there because of last season, and as is also the case with Ortiz, there isn’t really a great second choice. Might as well take the merits of last year. And I will admit that I voted for Griffey. Not because of this season but because of his career and because he hit 600 home runs this season. There aren’t too many more All-Star games left for him– though he is one of those guys that never shows up. Anyway, thats my thoughts on the ballot.
The answer to yesterday’s trivia question is Chipper Jones. I did get a couple of correct responses, but unfortunately no included their email address with their response, so I couldn’t contact them. So its the same prize today: Dan Migala’s book, Dugout Wisdom!
Today’s questions is: What franchise was the first to lose 10,000 games over the course of its history? Remember to include your email address with your answer in the text box below. Good Luck!
