Braves make final push for All-Star votes

With less than 24 hours left until the MLB All-Star ballot closes, the Braves are pulling out all the stops to rake in some late votes.

Capitalizing on the influx of 60,000 runners into Piedmont Park following The AJC Peachtree Road Race, the team set up a voting station just beyond the finish line.

The most recent update revealed that the ballots are leaning toward Atlanta.

But there’s still time to cast a vote, and many Braves fans spent Independence Day showing their support.

The Braves’ official Twitter account is encouraging fans to help second baseman Ozzie Albies hit the two million mark before voting closes tonight at 11:59 p.m. ET.
