Cubs Players Chase All-Star History
Pretty cool.
The Official Site of Major League Baseball: News: Cubs players chase All-Star history
Quote:
Geovany Soto is on pace to make National League history.
Soto, the Chicago Cubs' 25-year-old rookie, leads the NL balloting at catcher for the July 15 All-Star Game with 343,427 votes. Soto has a six-figure lead and if he maintains his hold on first place, he would become the first NL rookie catcher to start a Midsummer Classic.

Quote:
Fukudome, who trails outfielder voting leader Soriano by roughly 27,000 votes, is, like Soto, a rookie with a shot at a rare accomplishment.
The last rookie to start an All-Star Game for either league was Seattle outfielder Ichiro Suzuki in 2001. There hasn't been an rookie outfielder in the starting lineup for the NL All-Star team since Philadelphia's Richie Ashburn in 1948.
