Mets RA Dickey and David Wright selected to the All Star game

Mets righthanded pitcher R.A. Dickey and third baseman David Wright were selected to the 2012 National League All-Star team. Both players were selected by the Players Ballot - a vote of the players, managers and coaches. The 2012 Major League Baseball All-Star Game will be held at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City on Tuesday, July 10. Dickey, 37, who leads the majors with 12 wins, is third with a 2.15 ERA and 116 strikeouts, was named to his first All-Star team. Dickey has won 10 straight decisions and went 5-0 with a 0.93 ERA in six June starts. The righthander became the third pitcher in Mets history to earn 12 wins prior to July 1, joining Seaver, who did it twice (1969 & 1970) and Bobby Jones (1997).
