Michael Brantley took part in the 88th annual All Star Game on July 11, 2017, at Marlins Park in Miami, Florida. it was the second ASG of his career and i have all the details!
note: even after the announcement on July 2 that Michael was named to the 2017 AL All Star Team,
he continued to be congratulated and spoke about his All Star nod
several times in the days leading up to the Midsummer Classic. actually, a lot of
things occurred in relation to the All Star Game prior to the event that i thought would be
good to include here. therefore, this blog covers ASG-relevant information from July 6-11. enjoy!
Prior to the All Star Break
July 6: before the Cleveland Indians game versus the San Diego Padres, Michael was interviewed by Andre Knott, the team's in-game reporter for SportsTime Ohio, and an excerpt was uploaded to a youtube video on the FOX Sports Ohio channel.

Brantley Named to MLB's 2017 AL All Star Team!
for the second time in his career, Michael Brantley is an All Star!👏👏 that's right, Michael has been named as an American League outfield reserve and is headed to Marlins Park in Miami, Florida, for the 88th annual All Star Game on July 11, 2017!
tonight, on July 2, this year's Midsummer Classic rosters were unveiled in an Esurance All Star Selection Show on ESPN at 7 pm ET. the American League OF reveal was first and i knew better than to expect to see Michael in the top three. the starting outfielders include Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees, Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels, and George Springer of the Houston Astros. Trout is still on the disabled list due to a torn UCL in his left thumb that he had surgery for at the end of May. originally, no one thought he had a chance to be ready to play in this game, but evidently,

Vote Brantley for MLB's 2017 All Star Game!
calling all Michael Brantley fans! i hope you're ready to get your vote on because it's now officially time to start picking the
2017 MLB All Stars!
Michael's first, last, and only appearance so far in an MLB All Star Game occurred in 2014 when he was selected to the American League team as a reserve player. he was not chosen to be part of the 2015 contest, and of course we all know that the 2016 ASG ended up being out of the question for him. (though i did push hard for fans to vote for Michael prior to his shoulder setback!) but with his injury issues finally out of the way, we need to get Dr. Smooth on the squad representing the Cleveland Indians this year.
after his first month of the regular season, Michael is currently batting
