Twins and Brewers Get Representation as the 2012 Major League Baseball All-Star Rosters are Announced
The Major League Baseball All-Star rosters were announced yesterday, and while the Twins and Brewers are having a bumpy 2012 season, both teams will be sending a player to be part of this year's festivities in Kansas City.
Joe Mauer makes the alternate list for the American League after staying healthy this season and swinging a hot bat lately. Ryan Braun makes the alternate list for the National League representing Milwaukee for the Midsummer Classic.
The American League has won 7 of the last 9 All-Star Games, and this year's AL roster is filled with sluggers that give them an offensive edge.
