My 2008 N.l. All-stars
There are certain players who tend to sell more MLB tickets than others, namely All-Star players. With this year’s mid-summer classic about a month away, I thought I’d list who I voted for as the starters for the game. Here are my picks for the National League. (All statistics noted are as of June 16)
Catcher – Russell Martin (Dodgers): Martin is hitting .311, has an on-base percentage of more than .400 and he’s swiped six bases.
First base – Lance Berkman (Astros): Berkman is mashing from both sides of the plate. If Chipper Jones wasn’t absolutely raking the ball, Berkman would have a shot at the Triple Crown. It’s hard to believe Albert Pujols isn’t getting this spot with the year he’s having, but Berkman is playing as well as anybody in the majors.
Second base – Chase Utley (Phillies): Utley could be the third consecutive Phillies player to win the MVP award. I never thought I’d see a second baseman leading the majors in home runs this far into the season with a legitimate shot at ending the season that way as well. This isn’t my father’s major league baseball.
Third Base – Chipper Jones (Braves): He’s hitting over .400, need I say more?
Shortstop – Hanley Ramirez (Marlins): This guy is one of the best players in the league and he’s only 24. He’s got power, speed and hits for average though his is down a bit this year. The sky is the limit for him. He should help sell MLB Tickets in Miami.
Outfield – Ryan Braun (Brewers): After a slow start, Braun has come on big time. Look for a big second half from him.
Outfield – Pat Burrell (Phillies): Burrell is having the best year of his career hitting in one of the most dangerous lineups in the league. His 18 home runs and .425 on-base percentage are numbers we’ve been expecting from Burrell for years.
Outfield – Ryan Ludwick (Cardinals): I don’t think anyone saw this coming. Ludwick is hitting over .300 with 16 round trippers and 54 RBI while slugging a beastly .648.
Starting Pitcher – Tim Lincecum (Giants): Brandon Webb and Edinson Volquez are having great years, but I’m giving the start to Lincecum. I think he’s been the most unhittable pitcher in the majors this year and has only one loss despite pitching for the offensively-challenged Giants.
There is only one way to see players like these in person, and that’s to purchase MLB tickets.

It is very easy to get into the habit of pulling off the ball. This is especially true for power hitters. Have you ever seen a power hitter hit a home run and thereafter, he can’t couch the ball? What happened? The home run took him out of himself. So as he pivots, he is also pivoting his head. Read the rest of it here: Click Here
