With the all star game coming up in just over three weeks, the online voting is going crazy as fans across the world are choosing their favorites. For most of the season, Red Sox slugging first baseman Kevin Youkilis has lead for that position in voting, but tonight, the MLB announced that Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira has replaced Youkilis among the top vote getters.

Many would argue that Youkilis is the better player, putting up superior numbers in most categories, while proving his versatility by playing third base as well as first. And as a golden glove winner, his offensive prowess is not all that makes him worthy to be an All Star.

However it is the fans that decide the starters, and Tex plays for the most popular team in all of baseball, and his numbers are quite good – if not quite as good as Youk’s. His 20 homeruns on the season tie him for fifth in the Majors and second in the AL. Either opponent is worthy, and the fans only have days to decide.

Regardless of whether you are team Youk or team Tex, you can vote online at MLB.com or grab some Yankees tickets and vote the old fashioned way, like we did when we were kids.
