Cubs and Red Sox rule All-Star Lineups

When the MLB All-Star Game starters were announced last night, the Chicago Cubs became the first team in 40 years to have five position players selected. They also became just the second team ever to have their entire infield picked to start, a group that includes 1B Anthony Rizzo, 2B Ben Zobrist, 3B Kris Bryant, and SS Addison Russell. The fifth Cubs starter is OF Dexter Fowler.

Boston's AL-leading four starters were less commonsense because the Sox aren't even in the top two of the AL East. The names rectify the decision a bit, though: SS Xander Bogaerts, OF Mookie Betts, OF Jackie Bradley Jr., and DH David Ortiz. Here's a look at the full starting lineups:
