Ladies and gentlemen…boys and girls…children of all ages! Major League Baseball proudly brings to you its 2008 MILWAUKEE BREWERS ALL-STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRSS!!!!!!
Congrats to them and to you, Brewer Nation, for voting Ryan Braun is as a starter!!!!
(For the record, I’d have had this posted a lot sooner but I was at the ballgame today for the sweep.)
The final tally for Braun saw him receive 3,835,890 votes!!! That was enough to make him the overall #1 starter in the NL outfield. In fact, he was second in total votes in the NL to only 2B Chase Utley (3,889,602).
* I removed reference to knocking Fukudome out of the starting lineup (thank you to the comments). I hadn’t yet watched the All-Star selection show when I originally wrote this and made the assumption that the man right in front of Braun was the one he caught.
We knocked out Griffey Jr. not Fukudome unfortunately
