Hope you learned a few new ones as well. Great info, thank you for sharing. One thing I would point out is that Ordonez was with Detroit in 2007. So it looks like the sox had a drought from 1995 until 2018 without having a position player start the AS game.

July 9, 20223 yr Kind of bittersweet with his level of play the last 2-3 weeks and the Sox current predicament. It does go to show his intrinsic marketing value to the franchise, as clearly the most nationally recognizable player on the team over Abreu and Robert.

Our section spent a lot of time punching thousands of ballots for Carlton Fisk the first half of the year. We would get boxes from the Andy Frain ushers. We only took breaks to boo Tony every time he left the dugout. He disgusted us so much, we gave up our tickets for 1986, not knowing Hawk would right the world and fire Tony in June.
July 9, 20223 yr It's odd that Abreu and Anderson got the largest votes. Usually the "real" large market player get the popular votes.
