Cubs fans can vote their favorite Cubs players to the 2019 All-Star Game. This year, MLB teamed up with Google to introduce a new format, which includes two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters. During “The Primary” phase, fans can vote up to five times a day until Friday, June 21. That evening the top three vote-getters at each position (and the top nine outfielders) in each league will be revealed and they will move on to the second phase of voting. “The Starters Election” will begin Wednesday, June 26, and conclude Thursday, June 27, with the results announced that night. Fans can cast their votes online by visiting www.cubs.com/vote. Fans who vote at least 100 times using the same email address and select the "Chicago Cubs" as their favorite team will automatically be entered into the 2019 Cubs All-Star Ballot Sweepstakes for a chance to win two tickets to the 2019 All-Star Game in Cleveland, Ohio. There is no purchase necessary to enter or win.
Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein, Hall of Fame baseball writer Peter Gammons and Cubs broadcaster Len Kasper join an All-Star lineup of musicians and personalities at the Eighth Annual Hot Stove Cool Music Chicago benefit concert Friday, June 7, at The Metro Chicago. The event celebrates music, baseball and giving back. Proceeds from the event support Cubs Charities and Epstein's Foundation To Be Named Later.
