Twins '09 All-Stars: Mauer, Morneau & Nathan

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― The Minnesota Twins will send a familiar trio to the All-Star game later this month: Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau and Joe Nathan.

The teams were revealed Sunday afternoon. Mauer was voted by fans the starting catcher for the American League squad for the second straight season. This is his third All-Star honor. Morneau was also picked for the home run derby, a contest the first baseman won last year. This is his third All-Star selection, too.

Nathan will go to the midsummer classic for a fourth time. The veteran closer joined Mauer and Morneau at the All-Star game last season as Minnesota's representatives.

Mauer had more than 4.3 million ballots cast for him, the fourth-most votes in the majors behind Albert Pujols, Chase Utley and Derek Jeter.

The All-Star game will be played in St. Louis on Tuesday, July 14.
