Final MLB All-Stars: A.J. Pierzynski and Nomar Garciaparra

Yet another White Sox player makes the American League All-Star squad!  Catcher A.J. Pierzynski joins teammates Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Jermaine Dye, Jose Contreras, Bobby Jenks, and Mark Buerhle.  Pierzynski can thank his spot to the Final Vote option that fans could choose, online, the player that deserved a spot in the Midseason Classic that wasn’t chosen before.  For the National League, 1B Nomar Garciaparra, usually a mainstay as an All-Star during his Boston Red Sox days, get’s the fans’ vote to represent the Los Angeles Dodgers in the “game that counts.”
