All-Star Voting, part 2
Last time I checked, Mike Piazza was leading all National League catchers in All-Star votes. It's an example of Major League Baseball's All-Star vote results being more about popularity than quality of play. Mike's not exactly tearing it up this season. That being said, I did vote for him. You can call it a sentimental favorite.
A few days ago, I poked fun at the All-Star voting process. My feelings haven't really changed that much. I still think stuffing the virtual ballot box is silly. (I'm satisfied with voting twice.) Also, I think the players and managers should have more of a voice than fans in who fills the All-Star teams.
