With All-Star voting beginning tomorrow, the Mets have the opportunity to do something that they haven’t done since 2006: send more than four players to the All-Star Game. Gee, I wonder if there are any other comparisons to be made between this team and the 2006 one.
This shouldn’t be surprising. After all, when your team stands atop the league standings, it stands to reason that they got there because of the elite performance of at least a few different players. But having more than two All-Stars in one year has been a rare occurrence for the Mets.
