Time to vote for your favorite Red Sox All-Star

The 2018 All-Star ballot is now released and like some ward boss in Chicago waking the dead or intoxicated, you can vote multiple times. Up to 35 votes! Baseball is not a democracy when it comes to ballot issues and encourages ballot stuffing. That, quite naturally, leads me to believe that some should be cut for the herd. Forever removed from voting in any baseball election.

The most notable case of ballot stuffing happened in 1957 when the Cincinnati Reds fans voted their team into the All-Star Game. Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, and Stan Musial were excluded for a brief moment in time.
