• The world champions, the brave ones, will be well represented, with five stars, most of them in the National League: Max Fried, Travis D’Arnaud, Dansby Swanson, Ronald Acuna Jr. and William Contreras. They haven’t had that many since 2011, when they also had five.

• Speaking of Contreras, he joins his brother, Cubs Cubs Willson Contreras, on the NL roster. Crescent The first group of brothers go to the All-Star Game Since Aaron and Brett Boone in 2003. They are the first player on the same list since Puerto Rican Sandy and Roberto Alomar in 1998 for the MLS. And since William has earned the NL hitter title assigned to injured Brice Harper, they will be the first brothers to start a game for the same league since the Alomars in 1992.

• Overall, Contreras will be the fifth group of brothers to open the All-Star Game in the same circuit, joining the Alomars (Los Angeles, 1991-1992), Joe and Dom DiMaggio (Los Angeles, 1949), Dixie and Harry Walker (LN) , 1947) and Mort Walker Cooper (LN, 1942-1943).
