Call to the Pen All-Star Team Reserves
By Wally Fish
For a number of weeks, we here at CttP worked diligently to select the starters and reserves for our 2010 All-Star team. We revealed our starters on June 24th and my intention was to announce the reserves for the AL and NL the following week (give or take a few days). Now it’s the day of the 2010 All-Star Game in Anaheim and our teams remain incomplete. At least they do in the eyes of the public and our cherished readers. Sure, we’ve had the rosters set for a while now but that doesn’t do any good if they don’t get published. Bottom line here is that I completely dropped the ball and that is completely on me.
So, after much delay, here are the Call to the Pen 2010 All-Star reserves for the American and National Leagues without the stats and witty commentary I had hoped to include.
