Jesse Winker, the former Olympia High standout now flexing his power for the Cincinnati Reds, was more than thrilled to learn he will make his first appearance in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game next week.
Winker, 27, shed some tears when he was interviewed by media after a home win against Milwaukee last Thursday — the day All-Star voting was finalized. He was selected as a starting outfielder for the National League for Tuesday night’s showcase game at Coors Field in Colorado.
