Surely, putting together an MLB All-Star team is a logistical nightmare.
But even with an understanding that multiple parties come together to build the teams for both the American and National Leagues, it was pretty shocking to learn Sunday that neither Zack Wheeler or Aaron Nola was selected for the senior circuit’s team.
As is, the Philadelphia Phillies will be sending just one representative to Dodger Stadium, as NL home run leader Kyle Schwarber was selected to the team. Bryce Harper was previously voted in as the starting DH, but obviously won’t participate as he rehabs a fractured left thumb.
