On Monday, Major League Baseball released its sixth voting update for this year’s All-Star Game and thankfully, it looks as though The Great Kansas City Ponzi Scheme of 2015 is beginning to come unraveled at the seams. Somewhat.
Amidst aggressive Royals fans trying to stuff the ballot boxes like Franklin Delano Roosevelt trying to pack the Supreme Court, Kansas City boasted an absurd EIGHT players leading the voting for their respective positions when the fourth update was released on June 15. In fact, reigning AL MVP Mike Trout was the only non-Royal to lead the voting for his position at the time, resulting in cries of voter fraud, pitchforks being raised, and ultimately MLB cancelling over 60 million votes due to concerns of illegal voting practices.
