The Kansas City Royals fans are back at again. One year after voting in four Kansas City starters to the All-Star Game, Kansas City is getting a lot of love in the first All-Star ballot results.
Three Royals would be voted in as starters if the voting ended today -- Eric Hosmer at first base, Lorenzo Cain in the outfield and Salvador Perez at catcher.
Taking a closer look at the ballot, you'll see that four Royals players are in second in the balloting, giving Kansas City a shot at seven players making the Midsummer Classic.
This isn't new territory for the Royals. As many as eight players were in the lead during last year's voting results, but Major League Baseball discounted more than 60 million votes.
