Colorado Rockies fans came up short in voting any of their favorite team’s players into the 2016 MLB All-Star game (then again, just about every team not from the North Side of Chicago is in that same boat), but there’s still time for them to vote rookie shortstop Trevor Story into the Midsummer Classic.

American and National League All-Star Team managers Ned Yost and Terry Collins, in conjunction with Major League Baseball, announced the candidates for the 2016 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote (#FinalVote), which is held exclusively on MLB.com and the individual Club sites.

Fans began casting ballots immediately and can continue voting until 2 p.m. MDT) on Friday, July 8.

Story is one of five National League candidates vying for the final slot on the NL roster.

National League

Brandon Belt (SF) – #VoteBelt (N1)
Ryan Braun (MIL) – #VoteBraun (N2)
Jake Lamb (ARI) – #VoteLamb (N3)
Starling Marte (PIT) – #VOTEMARTE (N4)
Trevor Story (COL) – #StoryTime (N5)

Heading into Tuesday’s game with San Francisco, Story was hitting .264 (7th among shortstops) with 19 home runs (1st), 53 RBIs (2nd) and 18 doubles (t4th). Story lit the baseball world on fire in April when he hit seven home runs in his first six games in the big leagues, shattering several rookie records that week and in his first month.

Story hopes to join Nolan Arenado and Carlos Gonzalez, who were named to the 2016 NL All-Star roster through player voting.
