"This has been my home for nine years now, and the people here have been nothing short of family for me," Longoria said. "It's pretty cool to see them behind [me] and doing as much as they can to push the word out."
As the balloting stood on Friday morning, Longoria was fifth in the AL, with Toronto's Michael Saunders in the lead. Fans can cast their Final Vote ballots until 4 p.m. ET on Friday, and Twitter support now counts toward the tally.

On Wednesday night, Longoria went 3-for-4 and scored on a wild pitch in the eighth inning of a 7-2 loss by creatively avoiding a tag attempt by Angels catcher Jett Bandy.
