The All-Star Game seems to be in the hands of the players who were elected as starters.
The fans have spoken, and they have made several sharp choices this year, particularly in the National League.
However, reserves have made a huge impact on the All-Star Game since its inception in 1933, and it is quite likely that the talented group that will start the game on the bench will produce one or two heroes, and perhaps more.
Players like Bobby Bonds (1973 MVP), Julio Franco (1990 MVP), Sandy Alomar (1997 game-winning homer and MVP) and Michael Young (2006 game-winning hit and MVP) have come off the bench and made huge plays to lead their league to victory.
