Cal is the first AS game starter in Jerry's decade long reign of terror

Tell me if this seems right. 15 teams in the league and there are 9 starters. Assuming the starters are randomly distributed among the teams, that would be .6 starters per team each year, i.e., a 60% chance of having a starter in a given year. So a 40% chance of NOT having a starter in a given year.

If my logic and math are correct, the likelihood of no starters from any given team for 9 years is 0.0262144% -- or about 1 in 3,800.

But we are due, right?

Congrats, Cal, very much deserved!

The athletics and marlins have both gone 10 years without an All Star starter

It's pretty sweet to have a Mariner all-star who definitely deserves to be there.

Nelson Cruz was the last one, 2015, I couldn't think of who that was
