Pittsburgh Tribune Review

"Nate McLouth's breakout season will include a trip to the All-Star Game. Sunday, the Pirates center fielder was selected among the 23 reserves for the National League squad. McLouth was chosen by the players ballot, the same way Jack Wilson made the team in 2004. This year's game will be played July 15 at Yankee Stadium. "It's kind of humbling to be mentioned among some of the names that will be there," McLouth said. "Anytime your peers feel that way about you, when they vote you to an All-Star Game, it's extremely special.""
