Four Reds Make It To Anaheim, None As Starters

It took a lot of ballot-stuffing, but Joey Votto finally made it to the 2010 National League All-Star roster. Voto made it to the mid-season classic by winning the “Final Vote”, which was strictly an online-voting application.

In addition to Votto, Arthur Rhodes made it as a reliever, while Brandon Phillips and Scott Rolen were selected as reserves.

Below are the rosters for the American and National Leagues, respectively, for the 2010 MLB All-Star Game, set to take palce on July 13 from Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA:
