World Champion Giants Aren't Leading A Single Position In The All-Star Vote
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) - After the latest check, the San Franicsco Giants don't have a single player leading his respective race to earn a starting spot in the All-Star Game. Now the team is sending out emails asking for your help getting the three-time MLB champions the respect they deserve.
"Buster Posey fell to second among National League catchers in a very tight race, so your vote NOW is more important than ever," reads the plea from the Giants' PR team. "Along with Posey, Brandon Crawford and Nori Aoki are among the top vote-getters for their positions. They all need your votes to earn their spot at the All-Star Game on July 14th at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati."
If things stay how they are now, the Face of Major League Baseball won't be starting the midsummer classic.
