“Soriano first achieved fame with the Yankees, but it was not until after he joined the Rangers in 2004 that he attained All-Star fame. He justified the MLB-leading 3.47 million fan votes he received by clubbing a three-run homer in the first inning (then added a single later) to walk away with All-Star Game MVP honors. He also started the contest and homered in ’02, and started in ’03.”
With 7 All-Star appearances under his belt, Alfonso Soriano has played in more All-Star Games than Jose Canseco. He is just one home run shy of 300. Maybe he’ll hit number 300 tonight?
