Three Twins Make All-Star Team

The Minnesota Twins will send catcher Joe Mauer, first baseman Justin Morneau, and pitcher Joe Nathan to the All-Star game on July 14 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Mauer will be the starting catcher for the AL after receiving the most fan votes for catcher on the All-Star ballot.  Nathan and Morneau were selected by the player’s ballot, and will be reserves at the game.

Morneau will presumably participate in the Home-Run Derby as well, since he was crowned the Home-Run Derby winner last year.  Morneau did mention he would not have participated if he did not make the All-Star team, prior to the All-Star selection announcements.
