When the final fan votes for the All-Star Game were tallied on Sunday, Bryce Harper came out on top in the National League, garnering nearly 14 million votes and breaking the NL record for votes received.
One day later, the Washington Nationals announced what the entire baseball world was already expecting: Max Scherzer will accompany Harper to Cincinnati.
“It’s awesome. It’s one of the highest honors in the game to be selected to play in an All-Star Game, and this is my third game,” said Scherzer, who was voted an all-star by players from around the league.
