Tim Wakefield was part of the group of six Red Sox who will head to St. Louis to represent the American League in the All-Star game. Jason Bay and Dustin Pedroia were voted in as starters by fans, while pitchers Josh Beckett and Jonathan Papelbon were elected by their players to the Mid-Summer Classic. Wakefield and first baseman Kevin Youkilis were both selected by Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon, who is stewarding the A.L. All-Star team. Wakefield, 42, becomes the second-oldest player ever to be named to an All-Star team for the first time. For details, visit the Full Count blog [1].
