The 2024 MLB All-Star list is out and fans could not be more excited for the Midsummer Classic. Top players from the American League and National League will clash on July 16 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
Both voting phases were complete as MLB fans picked the best players for the most-awaited event. While several fans are happy with the American League list, some are disappointed that their favorite players failed to get on the roster.
Fans expressed their frustration by comparing several players they felt deserved the spot. It's common for fans to be upset as not every year a player gets to be in the All-Star game.
Here's a look at some of the fan reactions on X.
"What has Vladdy done this year," asked one fan.
"Kwan robbed tucker what's new," added another fan.
"If you went by actual performance — and not a fan popularity contest — Jarren Duran would be on this team," another fan chipped in.
Comments continued to flow as fans compared their favorite players who were not voted.
"All respect to Jose Ramirez, but Bobby Witt should be starting," another fan compared.
"Unpopular opinion: The starting DH should be the best hitter that didn’t get voted in as a starter. For example, as good as Yordan has been, Bobby Witt Jr. should be the starting DH," another fan chimed in.
"Jose Altuve being rewarded makes me sick," another fan responded.
