The Phillies' Pat Burrell is one of them, largely due to interviews he gave Philadelphia Weekly and Penthouse in 2002-03 (text NSFW). So I will implore you to use this handy widget and cast your vote today for Pat to join the National League All-Star Team -- #4 in the NL with a .995 OPS, .278/.411/.585 with 21 HR. He deserves your Final Vote, cast as frequently as the MLB will allow:
In other All Star news, something I've long called for is that the Commissioner -- yes, even Selig -- should have the right to name a player to each squad who may not necessarily deserve the honor for this year, but who ought to be honored by Baseball Nation as a whole in this marquee event during the twilight of his career. Regardless of how they're doing this season, Ken Griffey Jr. and Frank Thomas ought to be playing in Yankee Stadium next week. Who's with me?
