Rangers outfielder Shin-Soo Choo's All-Star selection is a deserving reward for an outstanding first half that included his ongoing 51-game on-base streak.
His trip to the MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard is also further evidence that Choo, when healthy, has been able to deliver what the Rangers expected when they signed him to a seven-year contract as a free agent on Dec. 27, 2013. It comes 13 years after first making his Major League debut with the Mariners in 2005.
It is a big moment for him, his family and South Korea.
