Just keep flooding this thread with Jennie Finch pictures :lol:
Castro and LeHair both made the NL All-Star team on the strength of the respect of their peers. Castro finished fifth among NL shortstops in the fan balloting, but he was first on the players' ballots, ahead of the Cardinals' Rafael Furcal, who was voted NL starter by the fans. Castro was the Cubs' only representative at the All-Star Game last year.
LaHair finished second in the player balloting to the Reds' Joey Votto, who was selected in the fan balloting as a starter.
For Dewey.... in terms of Castro and LaHair not deserving the AS nods they got. As I suspected, they got in because the players voted them in. Kinda have to give it up to guys that were voted in by their peers.

Didn't know Prince Fielder was only two-time HR Derby winner. How about that.
He's the 2nd. Griffey Jr won it thrice
Ah, then Fielder must be only guy to win in both leagues so far.
