The final votes are in, and the last two players to grab an invitation to the All-Star Game are … (drum roll) … Evan Longoria & Corey Hart!
As the Internet ballots were tallied up on Thursday, the Rays third baseman & Brewers outfielder finished out on top. Longoria reeled in 9 million votes, besting the Yankees’ Jason Giambi, the White Sox’s Jermaine Dye, the Orioles’ Brian Roberts and the Royals’ Jose Guillen.
Meanwhile, Hart brewed up 8 million votes, a head above the Mets’ David Wright, the Phillies’ Pat Burrell, the Giants’ Aaron Rowand and the Astros’ Carlos Lee.
But we wonder if online voters weren’t a bit confused as to who they were selecting for one last trip to Yankee Stadium.

Just more proof that once again, democracy doesn’t work.
