Colorado Rockies: 5 odd places where Mark Reynolds won the Final Vote

Mark Reynolds of the Colorado Rockies was one of five finalists in the Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote. While he may not have won, he certainly picked up some victories in some interesting parts of the United States.

Justin Turner of the Los Angeles Dodgers ended up winning the Final Vote, with Chicago’s Kris Bryant finishing second. After that, in order, were Washington’s Anthony Rendon, Reynolds and Miami’s Justin Bour.

On the other side of the ballot, Mike Moustakas of the Kansas City Royals earned the American League’s final All-Star roster spot.

Taking a look at the interactive map (broken down by each county in each state) for all of the voting, you can see that each of the candidates held court in their own respective parts of the country. For example, Turner dominated the West Coast while Reynolds took the Rocky Mountain region and Bryant dominated the Great Lakes area. It’s no surprise that fan bases in their respective areas were loyal to their own players.
