It's almost fitting that the Dodgers only had one All-Star this year because if they had any more, they'd more than likely get injured on the way to Yankee Stadium before the All-Star Game on Tuesday.
Texas Rangers designed hitter Milton Bradley has bounced around six teams in his nine-year career, but he found his way onto the team that matters - the All-Star team.
