Gordon, Kansas City's stellar left fielder, has been an All-Star in each of the past two seasons, but he's still seeking his first hit in the Midsummer Classic. The veteran will need some fan support to get back to the All-Star Game, and he pumped an extra-inning home run on Tuesday night to state his case.
Gordon, who is now hitting .295 with a .417 on-base percentage, has earned a reputation as one of the American League's top two-way players. The former first-round Draft pick has won an AL Gold Glove in each of the past four seasons, and he's helped the Royals establish themselves as postseason contenders.
