All Four Cubs Infielders On Pace To Start All-Star Game 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Jun 23, 2016 12:54 pm

The National League All-Star team may start the entire Chicago Cubs infield next month.

If Kris Bryant, Addison Russell, Ben Zobrist and Anthony Rizzo are voted in as starters, it would be just the second time in baseball history that four infielders from the same team started the game.

"I'm happy for our guys," Joe Maddon said after the latest round of voting was released on Wednesday. "I think it's great. It's great for the organization."

Not since the 1963 Cardinals has a team started its entire infield in the All-Star Game.

"It will elevate their game," Maddon said. "I believe that."
