A total of eleven Dominicans will probably see action in this year's All Star Game that will be played in the "House that Ruth Built": Yankee Stadium. This marks the sixth time that the country has been represented by at least ten players in the mid-summer spectacle. The list is headed by Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees who will play in his twelfth All Star Game, and who for eleven of those years has been the biggest votegetter of the game. Accompanying Rodriguez will be Manny Ramirez of the Boston Red Sox (twelfth time on the team) and David "Big Papi" Ortiz, who will have to sit this one out because of injuries. Pitcher Ervin Santana will go to the game for the first time.
For the National League, Alfonso Soriano will be accompanied by six of his Chicago Cub teammates, including Aramis Ramirez and Geovanny Soto. Also on the National League team are Albert Pujols and the sensational Hanley Ramirez. Miguel Tejada almost edged out Ramirez for the starting shortstop position. Cristian Guzman and Edison Volquez will also be on the team.
