ASG Final Vote: Who Do You Got?
I for one love the concept of the Final Vote. Major League Baseball gives the fans one last chance to right a wrong from themselves or the managers. The only way a player could get in after the fact beforehand was through an injury replacement. While many of those still come to pass every year,… Continue reading ASG Final Vote: Who Do You Got?
