I say go for it. Make it nine for nine. But I also work at FOX 4, and we carry the All-Star Game, so more Royals might mean more eyeballs.

There is no in-park voting by paper ballot. Anybody can vote online 35 times for a given e-mail address, so attendance isn't a factor.

Josh Donaldson trumps Moustakas big time.

As suggested by Cliff Corcoran at si.com, I wonder what will happen if other fans start voting for no Royals players.

Oops. I do realize the change in voting. But I was kind of recalling the past. I had the Reds back in 1957 in my mind who stuffed the ballots and had all but one positional starter make the lineup. But anyways, the best teams draw the most interest, don't know why I made my point with attendance.

Online voting does have its problems. But other teams and fans are as equally entitled unto it as well.

Well, I haven't even voted yet but maybe now I will vote 35 times since I know I can! If voting 35 times is allowed, then that's not stuffing the ballot box. It's playing by the rules. And fans of any other team can do the same.

I didn't know it was up to 35 times. That does open the door for obsessiveness, or stuffing. But the irony that this would happen to the host city of Cincinnati, after the controversy 1957. If they do boo all of the Royals players, essentially, they're booing what their own 57 Reds team was accused of doing.

We ain't got time to stuff ballot boxes over here, we're too busy hacking.

I wish people would stop using the word "stuffing". I voted 35 times on my three different email addresses. It takes 5-10 minutes to vote 35 times (mlb.com makes it extremely easy) so one hardly needs to be "obsessive" to do it.

It might be considered stuffing if a person was to set up tons of "burner" email addresses for the sheer purpose of voting ad nauseum. But it's still fair game either way.
