Chipper Jones and Brian McCann are going to represent the National League in the 2008 All-Star Game this month at Yankee Stadium. 

This is Chipper’s 6th all-star game and 5th as a starter.  To no suprise, he is a .400 hitter in all-star competition as well.  He is batting 4-for-10 with a home run.  1996 was his first all-star game and 2001 was his last.   In 2000, he went 3-for-3 with that home run which came off of James Baldwin in a game that was played at Turner Field.

McCann is making his 3rd all-star game as a reserve.   He is a career 0-for-2 in the classic.  He grounded out to short in 2006 and flew out to short in 2007.
