ARLINGTON -- Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus has an uphill battle to make his way to Miami for his third career All-Star Game.
As of Tuesday morning, Andrus sat in fourth place in the American League in the 2017 Esurance All-Star Game Final Vote. Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas has 4.4 million votes, followed by Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts, Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius, Andrus and Rays first baseman Logan Morrison.
Andrus has had some help to push him over the top, though. The World Famous Wheelie-ing Elvi, a group of Elvis Presley lookalikes who drive mini-motorcycles, made their way to Globe Life Park to promote Andrus. They participated in the city of Arlington's Fourth of July Parade and produced a video to help Andrus' candidacy.

Andrus has been backed by the #ElectElvis social media campaign, too. The Rangers' promotional tweet for Andrus has been retweeted by accounts in pop culture and sports alike.
The official "Game of Thrones" Twitter account retweeted it, as has The Bachelor's Chris Harrison and members of the band MercyMe.
The official accounts for the Dallas Mavericks and FC Dallas, as well as Mavericks player Dirk Nowitzki, FC Dallas players Kellyn Acosta and Matt Hedges, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Lucky Whitehead, Rangers Hall of Famers Rusty Greer and Michael Young and several Rangers teammates have all expressed their support for Andrus' candidacy as well.

Like they did during Monday's game, the Rangers will be staging #ElectElvis Power Hours over the next two days to boost his votes.
