The voting results for Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game were revealed on Sunday, introducing two rosters that consist primarily of established stars with a smattering of sparkling youngsters and surprisingly productive veterans. For the first time since 2003, the Mid-Summer Classic is entirely exhibitory and will no longer determine home-field advantage in the World Series.
For the most part, these rosters accurately represent the best in baseball to this point in the season. However, no All-Star Game would be complete without some head-scratching snubs, and 2017 has its fair share.
Perhaps the most egregious oversight is Seattle’s 2B Robinson Cano.
