For the second week in succession, no Cardinals player has cracked the top three for any position (nine for outfielders) in the fan voting for the All-Star teams.
Should the balloting for the National League team continue in that vein, the Cardinals will have no chance to have a starting player for the July 9 game to be played in Cleveland.
The first round of online voting results will end with Friday’s announcement of the top three at each spot (nine for outfielders). Those players will go through another election process, to last 28 hours beginning a week from Wednesday, with starters to be announced a week from Thursday, June 27, and the remainder of the National and American League squads, including the pitching staff, to be announced on June 30.
