It shouldn’t have to come to this, but such is life with the screwed up and always controversial way that Major League Baseball selects its All Star rosters.
Paul Konerko – the ONLY player in the AL currently in the top 5 of all three Triple Crown categories – was NOT chosen as an All Star this year. There is not one person who doesn’t think, in the immortal words of Bob Knight, that such a snub is absolute fucking bullshit*.
Luckily, MLB does have a way to write egregious wrongs such as this.
So join me in what I am officially dubbing the “Paul In” campaign (#PaulIn on Twitter) to get Paul Konerko to the All Star Game: http://atmlb.com/k0dHWw.
I just voted 20-some times and plan to vote a lot more.
White Sox fans, fans of baseball in general, and anyone who cares about justice and right prevailing over wrong should be voting for Paul Konerko. Come on. Let’s get Paul in.
(BTW, in case you don’t get the connection, I chose “Paul In” to go with the White Sox season slogan of “All In.” Seems to fit in multitudes of ways. If you agree, let’s roll with it.)
