text: isn't it ironic that 3 yankees and 3 red sox...? are leading their respective category in votes? it would make sense seeing how they play in the two biggest baseball markets in the world. and also seeing how they are two of the best teams in the league.  it's an "all star" game, not a "best players" game. fans dont wanna see the best players, they want to see the biggest stars, stars who are concentrated in the large markets for many reasons.
