BOSTON (AP) - Red Sox reliever Hideki Okajima was added to the AL All-Star roster Thursday night as the winner of the 32nd man Internet vote, giving Boston a leading six players in the game.
The voting ended at 6 p.m., and the results were released shortly before the start of Boston's game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. When the announcement was put on the scoreboard during the sixth inning, Okajima got a standing ovation from the fans and his teammates.
He removed his cap, waved with both hands, and bowed repeatedly in each direction.
