The polls close at 10 a.m., Hawaii time, on Thursday in an election that could put a Maui boy in the major league all-star game for the first time.
But as of last night, Philadelphia center fielder Shane Victorino was still slightly trailing San Francisco third baseman Pablo Sandoval for the 33rd and final berth on the National League roster for next week's game in St. Louis.
The one frustrating aspect of this process is that mlb.com doesn't provide updated numbers. Instead, the website merely reported that Sandoval was narrowly ahead of Victorino for a second straight day.
So fans of Victorino and the Phillies must continue to blindly cast their ballots and hope for the best. You can do your part by going to mlb.com, and voting as many times as possible.
Victorino and Sandoval aided their causes with spectacular efforts on Monday. Shane had four hits, including a homer, to go with four RBI and five runs while Sandoval slugged a grandslam homer to power the Giants to a win.
Neither candidate was as impressive yesterday. Victorino was 1-for-5 in Philly's 4-3 loss to Cincinnati, while Sandoval went 0-for-4 in San Francisco's 3-0 win over Florida.
Arizona third baseman Mark Reynolds, Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp and Washington shortstop Cristian Guzman are also on the NL ballot.
