Quiz results: All-Star Game

With mere hours to go before first pitch in the 2011 All-Star Game, the polls are closed (well, not really—you can vote, but it’s too late to be counted in the “official” tally).

Here are the most up-to-date results of the question that asked about tonight’s game:

Who are you rooting for?      Percentage
AL                                 46.9%
NL                                 53.1%

Unlike the last Pop Quiz, which asked what to do with the DH, where the NL-style pitcher batting dominated the voting, this poll was quite close. However, in the end, the National League gets the slight edge. (And, no, I didn’t stuff the ballot box.)

Regardless, I think we can all hope for a good, tight game—and no tie!

Could the small difference be in the fact that the NL has 2 more teams?

14/30=46.67%
16/30=53.33%

Excellent point, JK.  I hadn’t considered that. 
That does kinda make it a tie.  Okay, everyone throw your hands in the air like Bud Selig.
