Major League all-star voting and MVP voting are a complete joke. The voting is a popularity contest, and isn't based on player performance.

The list of childhood career aspirations is filled with everything from being an astronaut to a rock star. Now tell your inner child that you have what it takes to pursue two of these fantasy jobs. Life is good when you’re named Jeff Samardzija.
