What a race!

Catcher
1. Ivan Rodriguez, Tigers 1,826,720
2. Joe Mauer, Twins 1,809,878
3. Jason Varitek, Red Sox 1,752,083

4 Mets starting and if Glavine got the call it would be 5.

I think Mauer would of caught Rodriguez with a few more days of voting

Fans got it right for the NL. Ehhhhhhh, I dont know what they were thinking on the AL.


But the AL will still win.

Jason Bay is a surprise in the NL outfield over Junior Griffey...In terms of winning the fan vote of popularity that was unexpected.

I'm shocked Bay could win this popularity contest.

Also, with the game being in Pittsburgh maybe that had something to do with it...looking at all the votes, Pirate players were high in the voting..Sean Casey more votes than Ryan Howard???? Get real.

At least Bonds was not voted in by the fans. In years past, he could have been on the DL or missed a significant amount of time and still won the fans vote....gee, do you think the roid scandal had anything to do with it???

Not the it means diddley........but just asking.

How did COCO CRISP receive more votes than TROT NIXON?

Indian fans must have had a hand in this is all I can think of.

Ballot stuffing. Check out all of the Pirates results. As stated earlier, Casey getting more votes than Howard?!?

Pittsburgh P.A. probably reminded its fans nightly to vote for Bay.

Papi over Giambi at first..Yank fans will argue he is a DH, and Giambi plays both the field and hits.I guess he has to play somewhere though.

Now that the fan vote is in, the talk will now shift to "who got snubbed."

Hey Journey, do Baltimore fans still hold a deep hatred for Cito Gaston for not pitching Moose back in 1993?

No Joe Nathan just not enough save opps this year

Mark Redman probably screwed Liriano out of a spot b/c each team has to have one rep and he's the Royals.

Lowell should have made it over Glaus..he's having a great season.
