Starters for the 2015 All-Star Game, which will be played in Cincinnati, OH, are announced. Early fears of a complete sweep of American League starting berths as a result of ballot stuffing by Royals fans are allayed, but they still manage to get four players elected. The leading vote-getter is Toronto 3B Josh Donaldson, who gathers over 14 million votes, thanks to a late patriotic surge coming from north of the border. In the National League, Nationals OF Bryce Harper leads all players with 13,8 million votes, almost double the highest total ever recorded by a member of the senior circuit.
