Franchise Four
Credit: MLB.com

Some of the pregame festivities prior to tonight’s All-Star Game, the MLB introduced each team’s ‘franchise four’ which I guess highlighted the best four players from each team?

Voting was held for a month between April 8th and May 8th which yielded some pretty interested results. For instance Nolan Ryan made the list for the Angels, Astros and Rangers, while Vlad Guerrero made it twice with the Angels and Expos/Nationals.

Here’s the full list courtesy of SportingNews:
