Brandon Belt wins fan vote, earns first All-Star nod

Belt received 10.4 million votes to earn last N.L. roster spot

First baseman is batting .300 with league-leading 27 doubles

Belt’s selection gives the Giants four All-Stars

SAN FRANCISCO -- Brandon Belt said he was tentatively planning to spend the All-Star Break back home in Texas. That has been his routine the past few years, spending time with friends and family he hasn’t seen for months and watching the All-Star Game.

"I have dreamed about being there a time or two," Belt said of the Midsummer Classic. "And it’s finally a dream come true."

Belt, the Giants’ first baseman, is heading to San Diego after he won the fan vote for the final spot on this year’s National League team.
