Mark Teixeira—not Kevin Youkilis—will be the starting first baseman for the American League in the 2009 All-Star Game. Teixeira narrowly defeated Youkilis in this year’s voting as the deadline approached and will represent the Yankees along with teammates Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter. Awesome news and good work to all those who voted.
Caleb’s Door move Alright everyone, you know the drill. Mark Teixeira is vying for his second All-Star Game start at 1B and Kevin Youkilis is muscling in on his goal, as he surpassed Tex this week in the voting. If you haven’t done so already, I encourage you to vote for Tex and help him out while we still can (voting ends tomorrow). You can vote up to 25 times. Also, remember to vote for Ian Kinsler in order to keep the undeserving Dustin Pedroia out of the AL’s starting lineup.
