The Boston Red Sox are not only the best team in baseball, but one of the most popular, as well. This explains why the online fan vote for the American League representative to the All-Star Game is one Hideki Okajima, a pitcher with the Beantown team.
Okajima, a reliever, is 2-0 with a 0.88 ERA, which is unheard of in the game. He's as close to automatic as a pitcher comes, and is a big reason that the Sox have all but left the American League East in the dust before the break, leading the second place team at the time of this posting by a comfy 12 games.
