MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) – Brewers fans got more than what they wished for after fighting to get Jesus Aguilar to the All-Star game.
The Brewer was also selected to compete in the Home Run Derby.
Aguilar drew 20.2 million votes en route to securing his first Midsummer Classic selection. His vote total marked the second-highest total ever in a Final Vote.
The players and uniformed staff adopted the “We Believe in Jesús” tagline last month, and the organization carried it forward with the voting campaign.
Aguilar joins Geoff Jenkins and Corey Hart as Brewers to claim the last All-Star spot on the roster.
Aguilar wasn’t named to the original all-star roster, even though he tied for the NL lead in home runs with 23 and leading the league with a .631 slugging percentage and 1.000 OPS.
