CHICAGO -- The first round of results was released on Wednesday, and the Cubs' Anthony Rizzo is the leading vote-getter in the National League in fan balloting (874,471) for the 2016 Major League Baseball All-Star Game presented by MasterCard, and he could have plenty of company at the July 12 game in San Diego.
The rest of the Cubs' infielders are among the top vote-getters at their positions: second baseman Ben Zobrist (732,519 votes), third baseman Kris Bryant (776,107) and shortstop Addison Russell (544,240). Dexter Fowler has received 797,160 votes and is second among NL outfielders behind the Nationals' Bryce Harper (838,599).
"It's awesome," Bryant said about having the entire Cubs infield leading their respective positions. "It says a lot about our fan base and this city and the people behind us. It's incredible. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Right now it feels awesome."

Miguel Montero is third among NL catchers, trailing the Cardinals' Yadier Molina and the Giants' Buster Posey; Jason Heyward was fourth and Jorge Soler sixth among outfielders.

"We have a lot of popular players," general manager Jed Hoyer said. "They're good guys, they play hard, and they endear themselves to the fan base."
A two-time All-Star who is aiming for his first fan-elected start, Rizzo could become the second Cubs first baseman to win a fan election, joining Derrek Lee (2005). Rizzo has 11 home runs, 10 doubles, a triple and 30 runs scored, and is tied for second in the NL in RBIs, with 37.
"It's awesome to see," Rizzo said. "It's an honor with what we've been doing on the field. For the fans to recognize it, it's awesome."
He didn't expect to be the top vote-getter.
"It's unreal," he said. "I'm very appreciative of [the fans' support]. I try to go out every day and play the game hard and the way it's supposed to be played."
The last Cubs to win a fan election were Kosuke Fukudome, Alfonso Soriano and Geovany Soto, all of whom were chosen by the fans in 2008.
The last time a team had five position players elected as starters to an All-Star team was in 1976, when five Reds -- third baseman Pete Rose, second baseman Joe Morgan, outfielder George Foster, catcher Johnny Bench and shortstop Dave Concepcion -- started.
The only team to have all four starting infielders was the 1963 Cardinals -- first baseman Bill White, second baseman Julian Javier, third baseman Ken Boyer and shortstop Dick Groat.
Russell said that his wife, Melisa, told him about the voting update.
"My wife informed me -- she made me blush a little," Russell said. "It'd be awesome. I think that's every kid's dream [to play in an All-Star Game]."
