The Minnesota Twins have had the best record in baseball for a majority of the first half of the season and have been toward the top of the American League standings. Even though they entered Sunday one game back of the New York Yankees for the best record in the AL, the Twins still haven’t gotten the national recognition that they deserve.
On Sunday, the Twins got another snub when the reserves and pitchers were named for the MLB All-Star Game, Although they have been one of the best teams in the AL for most of the first half, the peers and managers who vote decided that Jake Odorizzi was the lone Twin deserving of an All-Star spot.
