Braun and Sheets in All-Star Game; Hart on Final Ballot

Despite reports to the contrary, Ryan Braun was voted to start in the 2008 All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium.  He overcame a late deficit to be the leading vote getter at his position.  In fact, a late push by the Brewers media department and Brewers fan led him to be the second leading vote getter among all NL players.  It is Ryan's first career All-Star selection and a very deserving honor indeed.

Ben Sheets was selected by manager Clint Hurdle to be on the NL pitching staff.  He's reached 10 wins before the break and has been one of the top pitchers in the league all year.  It will be his 4th career All-Star selection.

Corey Hart put on a late push to be included and still has a shot as part of the Monster Final Ballot.  He is among 5 players from the National League that can be selected between now and Thursday at 5 pm. Above is the widget to cast your vote for Hart.  There is no limit on how many times you can vote, so keep voting and lets get him in the game.
