Taking the pulse of Final Voters
Emails have come to MLB.com constantly throughout the process. We pulled many email addresses from the Final Vote database randomly late Tuesday night and emailed them, just to see what was on people's mind during this four-day process. The result was this story that has been up on MLB.com since Wednesday morning.
There wasn't room to include everyone, so here are other responses that have continued to come in -- as a quickie snapshot of what an MLB.com user out there is thinking:
I have been voting for David Wright about 100 times/day via the web and my cell phone. I have voted for him because he is the best 3rd basemen in the league and he deserves to be in there. I am probably about the craziest Mets fanatic you will meet. I wear Mets stuff almost everyday and my toenails are painted blue and orange from March-October. Go Mets and D-Wright you will get in cuz you are Da-Man!!!!
I love the Final Vote because it gives the players who should have been voted into the All-Star Game in the first place the chance to still get in and it gives the fans even more say.

"I voted for Brian Roberts because I think out of all the candidates, he is the most deserving not because of being glamorous or showy, but because when it comes down to who is dependable, hardworking, you can always count on B-Rob. What impresses me the most is that he still looks up to others even though he is a veteran himself. I voted about 10-15 times.
"We love the final vote because it gives us a chance to make sure the person that truly deserves a spot gets one. The voting process was extremely easy and hassle free. I truly believe Brian Roberts deserves this spot on the team; no one deserves it more. I hope Brian wins!"
