This season, 3 very deserving Angels are going to Yankee Stadium to participate in this year’s Midsummer Classic. Joe aunders, Ervin Santana, and Francisco Rodriguez will all be making the trip. This is the first time 3 Angels’ pitchers have participated. Also, Vladimir Guerrero will not be there starting for the first time in 5 years.

K-Rod is making his 3rd trip to the All-Star game; he went last year and in 2004. Joe Saunders and Ervin Santana are going for the first time and are both very excited to be there.

“We have some fabulous arms on this team,” Saunders said. “To get the opportunity to do this is pretty special. Everything’s fallen in place this year.”

“It’s a great honor,” Santana said. “I put in a lot of work during the winter and this spring, and it’s a good feeling to be helping the team and now making the All-Star team. I’ve always believed in my ability. It’s just a matter of being consistent.”
