MILWAUKEE - The Brewers need more than your thoughts and prayers to send Jesús Aguilar to the All-Star Game. There is nothing more sacred than good food in Milwaukee and what better place to come out and vote than at Holey Moley Coffee + Doughnuts?
Yesterday, Aguilar was named one of five candidates for the Camping World All-Star Final Vote. This is your last chance to help elect another member of the Crew to the 2018 National League All-Star team.
The Brewers will sweeten the deal for you to come out and vote. Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 10, fans are invited to cast their ballot from 8 to 10 a.m. at Holey Moley Coffee + Doughnuts in the Mayfair Collection (11340 W Burleigh St, Wauwatosa, WI). The first 500 fans will receive a "Sweet Jesús" doughnut. It's the Brewers own version of "Fat Tuesday."
Fans can help send Aguilar to his first career All-Star Game by voting online at Brewers.com/Vote. There is NO LIMIT on the number of times that fans can vote before polling ends on Wednesday, July 11 at 3 p.m. CT.
Despite not being on the initial ballot, Aguilar has made himself known by smashing 22 homers, 14 doubles and collecting 63 RBI in 79 games. He entered the day leading the National League in SLG (.652), RBI (53), HR (22) and OPS (1.009) since April 19.
The players and uniformed staff adopted the "We Believe in Jesús" tagline last month, and the organization is carrying it forward with the voting campaign.
In 2003 and 2008, Brewers fans "shocked the world" by electing Geoff Jenkins and Corey Hart to the Final Man spot, ahead of players from markets as large as New York, San Francisco and Philadelphia.
To help energize the regional market, the Brewers and Twins are in an alliance to co-promote Aguilar in the National League and the Twins Eddie Rosario (translation is "Rosary," by coincidence) in the American League for this year's Final Man balloting.
Aguilar will look to join teammates Lorenzo Cain, Josh Hader and Christian Yelich, who were selected yesterday to participate in the midsummer classic. The 89th Major League All-Star Game presented by Mastercard will be held on Tuesday, July 17 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
We believe in Jesús, and we hope you do to.
