KC Royals frustrated division-rival David Price tweeted that the All-Star game vote should not be a popularity contest on Wednesday night:
An all star game IS NOT a popularity contest…it’s for home field advantage (for whatever reason) for the World Series!! Best players play

Kansas City Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer’s 600,000 vote lead over Price’s teammate Miguel Cabrera led to Price’s Twitter outburst:
#mlb please do something about the Allstate voting…not that’s it’s funny but it’s kind of a joke…#VOTEMIGGY

KC Royals fans immediately bombed David Price with Twitter hate, including this response from me:
@DAVIDprice14 Bet you’d change your tune if you pitched a couple of games with the #Royals defense behind you.
