The fans have spoken: Red Sox pitcher Hideki Okajima will represent the American League as the 32nd member of the 2007 All-Star team. Okajima's 4.3 million votes gave him the spot over Jeremy Bonderman, Pat Neshek, Kelvim Escobar and Roy Halladay. Not too shabby.Okajima is 2-0 with a microscopic ERA of 0.88 in 38 appearances out of the Red Sox bullpen. He's picked up four saves in his 41 innings, striking out 37 batters along the way. His WHIP is a ridiculous 0.78 and hitters are batting just a buck-fifty-six against him.
The Red Sox have done well in seasons past through fan voting: Johnny Damon in 2002 and Jason Varitek in 2003. The news was posted on the scoreboard at Fenway during the game and Okajima received a standing ovation.
