Baseball fans made KC Royals catcher Salvador Perez their overwhelming choice to start for the American League in next week’s All-Star Game, but he’ll be the only Royal making the trip to Colorado’s Coors Field for the annual midsummer game and festivities.
The League announced Sunday the pitchers and reserve position players, selected by AL player vote and the Commissioner’s Office, who’ll join the fan-chosen starters, and none are Royals.
Not a one. And unless a KC player is named to replace an injured or unavailable starter, pitcher or reserve, that’s the way things will stay.
