Reason to vote for Junior- #12 He is a "true" all-star!

When Junior participates in the "game of stars" he tends to shine bright! He is a star among stars and his numbers show it. In the ASG Junior has come through in the clutch at the plate and has flashed his leather in the outfield. His past performances in the ASG give another reason to vote him as American League DH for the 2010 MLB All-Star Game.

His .440 clip at the plate goes unmatched in the MLB All-Star Game other than Charlie Gehringer's .500, done during the The Live-Ball Era (1920-1941). It is quite remarkable that in a game that highlights the best, Griffey has been able to preform at such a superior level. Junior has been able to distinguish the flame on Dan Haren's heater and cutting the strings on Tom Glavine's infamous breaking ball in the big game. He has been able to hit everywhere in the lineup as he has batted anywhere from 3rd to 5th to 7th to PH in the batting order. His past performances at the plate truly signify his belonging and comfort level in the Midsummer Classic.
