When you have the best record in baseball in the month of July, the fans will certainly take notice, even if they’re not on national television most nights.
The Houston Astros ability on the field this season has been phenomenal and they have gotten five of their best on the 2017 All-Star Game roster for the American League.
Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, Georgia Springer, Dallas Keuchel, and Lance McCullers were all named on Sunday after the fan votes were compiled.
This is Altuve’s fourth straight appearance in the All-Star Game and fifth overall. This matches Lance Berkman for second-most All-Star game selections in an Astros uniform.
Correa, Springer, and McCullers will all be making their first appearance in the All-Star game while Keuchel has been selected for the second time. It will remain to be seen if he appears in the Midsummer Classic as he has been dealing with a neck injury.
The 88th All-Star Game will take place on July 11th at Marlins Park in Miami.
