THE FLATS — With the Major League Baseball All-Star break quickly approaching, make sure to go HERE for your All-Star Game Ballot to vote for your #ProJackets! Tomorrow (June 29) is the last day to vote!
A #ProJacket that definitely deserves to be an all-star this year is Charlie Blackmon, as the center fielder leads the majors in hits (102), total bases (187), triples (10), and plate appearances (356). He also ranks in the top 10 in the MLB in games played (78), at bats (320), runs scored (62), slugging percentage (.584), RBIs (56) and extra base hits (43).
Here he is on High Heat.
