The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have yet to visit St. Louis’ new downtown ballpark during inteleague play, but both American League East rivals will have several players familiar with it after the 80th All-Star Game.

Major League Baseball will announce its All-Star teams this afternoon, and there will be the usual debate about who deserved to be picked for the July 14 game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis but got snubbed. As you wait for the real squads to be announced you can debate who got snubbed on the official On The Beat All-Star team.

It wasn’t that long ago that Texas Rangers second baseman and former University of Missouri baseball star Ian Kinsler led the fan vote at his position, with a slight edge over Boston Red Sox infielder and reigning AL MVP Dustin Pedroia. Kinsler went from leading the fan vote to now being left to the final fan vote — a four-day sprint of online voting that will determine the 33rd spot on both leagues’ rosters.

Chicago White Sox lefty Mark Buehrle, the starter for the 2005 All-Star Game in Detroit, is scrambling to get some extra tickets for friends and family as he’ll make his fourth All-Star appearance a memorable one — near his home in the St. Louis area.
