Only a few hours remain until the final spots on baseball's 2008 All-Star Game will be decided. Major League Baseball announced this morning that Corey Hart of the Milwaukee Brewers is leading the National League voting and Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays is leading the American League voting. Trailing closely behind Hart is David Wright of the Mets, while Jason Giambi is trailing Longoria and Jermaine Dye of the Chicago White Sox.
In an unquestioning support of our home teams, Gothamist voted for Wright and Giambi several times today. In a show of support for Giambi, the Yankees even supplied faux mustaches to fans at yesterday's game to "Support the 'Stache." How can you not want a porn stache in the All-Star game, even if its owner wears leopard print thongs. One added benefit of Giambi making the All-Star team would be his inclusion in the home run derby.
If they make the teams, Wright would join Billy Wagner on the NL team and Giambi would join Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Mariano Rivera on the AL team. You can participate in the Final Vote until 5 p.m. today.
