This All-Star Game has also yielded some pretty interesting stats. First, the Royals fans ballot box stuffing paid off in a way since it’s sending six KC players to the game something that has never happened before. On the NL side, five total Cardinals will had to Cincinnati which leads the senior circuit. Major League Baseball may also not of had another year than 2015 that’s been so rich in young talent. This season, the Great American Ballpark will put on display 35 players in total that are 27 years of age or younger.
