Found my unmailed 2008 ASG ballot from 3rd grade.

47 comments

1. I’d always grab like ten, do one seriously, then spend the rest of the game punching out the chad in different patterns, usually swear words.

2. Ah yes, another reminder of the 2008 mariners

3. Ah yes Giants legend Dave Roberts

4. So what’s the deal with the write-ins? You just wanted to vote for 4 outfielders? I would’ve been using that for Mike Fontenot or something. 

5. Granderson had a long career. I only remember him as a member of the Mets in the middle 2010s.

6. Blast from the past – Felix Pie. Player I still remember being hyped up by the cubs broadcast crew before called up and being completely underwhelmed.

7. How your ballot did:

   Starters: Pujols, Jeter, Rodriguez, Mauer, Ramirez

   Reserve: Tejada, Wright, Martin, Ortiz

   Didnt Make It: Kent, Beltran, Church, Lee, Konerko, Roberts, Guerrero, Rios, Gomes, Griffey Jr

8. You really screwed up going with that Pujols guy over Dan Ortmeier

9. this mf said ryan church all star

10. So it’s your fault Dan Ortmeier didn’t make the ASG

11. Gomes ❤️

12. Johnny Gomes warranted a write in vote?

13. are you also the guy who left Ichiro off your Hall of Fame ballot?

14. *checks AL catcher*

    Ah, good

15. I so loved those punch cards.

16. You were in 3rd grade in 2008? Umm ok

    Me:

    

17. Did you miss hitting Matsui and just say “well it wasn’t meant to be, Papi it is”

18. Bro this hits right in the feels with nostalgia. You got it right voting for Vlad Sr. too!

19. Probably best you didn’t send—couldn’t bring yourself to vote for one player from the eventual champs? Tisk tisk

20. Wow I remember this ballot

21. JFC I know I’m old because I know all the guys on this ballot but hardly any of the guys you all talk about on here.

22. You can choose to not vote for your team’s entire lineup? Huh, the more you know

23. That was the year 8 Cubs players got picked and the hope-ium was high, just to watch that team shit the bed in 3 games getting out scored 20-6.

24. Gomes was on the ballot. Should have voted for Hanging Chad Curtis.

25. wow I remember this

26. Paul Konerko, fuck yes!

27. Miguel Tejada 🙂

    Astros ☹️

28. Im wearing a 2008 AL asg jersey while looking at this…

29. Wow, I can’t believe I forgot about these. What a great flashback, thanks for sharing.

30. Not picking Pudge 👎🏼

31. Ohhhh my goodness I haven’t thought about these in so long. What a throwback.

32. Khalil Greene got snubbed

33. These were the days…

34. Why do the mid 2000’s look like the 90’s?

35. Just hand it to the usher at your next game 😂

36. I take personal offense that you didn’t vote for Jeff Keppinger at SS

37. Ryan Freel

    🙁

38. Man so many outfielders with the wrong teams. Griffey jr. on the reds, alou on the Mets, Jim Edmonds on the padres and Soriano on the cubs. Damon on the Yankees. I also don’t remember tigers legend Miguel Cabrera playing outfield for the Yankees. Am I taking crazy pills?

39. Shoutout Vlad Sr.

40. I’m guessing you’re a Mets fan

41. I don’t remember half those Twins. 

42. Why did you choose Ryan Church? Haha

    Loved seeing Wright and Beltran picked! Surprised Reyes wasn’t one there!

43. OP accidently voted for Pat Buchanan.

44. I graduated high school in 2008. Fuck you.

45. Damn, no Phillies???

    *sees flair*

    Ah

46. Fairly unbiased. W ballot.

47. Oh this takes me back. My parents were part of a season ticket group back then. Every time we went I grabbed hundreds and used a skinny Bic pen to mass vote for Russell Martin. Spent so much stupid time online revolting for that over and over. I remember I did some basic calculations and I alone was like 0.01% of his votes or some shit like that lol. Was very proud of my efforts.
