The best way for the two Chicago Cubs All-Stars of 2018 to follow-up in 2019? To make another trip to the 2019 midsummer classic in Cleveland, Ohio. That’s exactly what Willson Contreras and Javier Baez did as it was announced on Thursday evening that both would be starters in the All-Star game on July 9th.
The two Cubs all stars are the first Cubs to start in back-to-back All-Star games since Ryne Sandberg and Andre Dawson in 1990-91. It is also the 19th time that the Cubs have had multiple starters in the All-Star Game.
