投票者選出年輕人，22歲的E. Longoria和26歲的C. Hart
Rays third baseman Evan Longoria and Brewers outfielder Corey Hart have
won the 32nd and final roster spots on each team for the 79th All-Star
Game on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, holding off marquee competition all
the way as a record 47.8 million votes were cast in the Monster 2008
All-Star Game Final Vote.
The voting, which began exclusively at MLB.com on Sunday and concluded
at 5 p.m. ET on Thursday, ultimately will be remembered not only for
the two young players' selections but also the amazing participation by
baseball fans worldwide. The number of votes cast this year was more
than half of the entire number cast in the previous six years of the Final
Vote, and it was more than double last year's record of 23.2 million.
光茫隊三壘手Longoria和酒鬼外予手Hart贏得在星期二於洋基球場舉行的第七十九屆全
星星賽的美聯及國聯的第32位，也是陣榮名單上的位子。他們在4780萬票選中脫穎而出，
將其他競爭對手阻擋在參加2008年全星星賽的門口之外。
此項投票只限於在MLB.com舉行，於星期天開始而在美東時間星期四下午五點結束；
這個活動，不僅這二個被選入的年輕球員會被放在人們的記憶中，而全世界令人驚呀廣大
參與的棒球迷也會被寫入記憶的一頁。今年的投票數，是過去六年來最後一輪投票總數
的一半，也是去年投票數2320萬的二倍。
Longoria drew a record nine million votes to win a close American
League race over outfielder Jermaine Dye, who could have become the third
White Sox player in four years to win the Final Vote. Yankees first
baseman Jason Giambi, despite a high-profile "Support the 'Stache" campaign,
finished third, followed by Baltimore second baseman Brian Roberts and
Kansas City outfielder Jose Guillen
