4 Mets selected to National League All-Star Team

July

David Wright led all National League third baseman in All-Star voting, so he will represent the Mets in the All-Star game to be played July 14 in St. Louis.

Carlos Beltran held off Rafael Soriano and Shane Victorino for the last spot on the National League roster for outfielders, but he likely will not play as he is still recovering from his bruised right knee. He might attend the festivities, however.

Johan Santana and Francisco Rodriguez also were voted in to the pitching staff.

Among the four of them, they boast quite an All-Star pedigree:

Wright: 3 selections
Beltran: 5
Santana: 4
Rodriguez: 4

Congratulations to all of these players.
