Nationals Loaded on Editors' All Star Ballot Claim
In a bold sports page ballot, Manny Sanguillen leads as catcher with a .315 average and strong arm. Orlando Cepeda is sidelined by knee trouble, so Willie McCovey gets the first base nod, while Joe Torre anchors third. Glen Beckert and Bud Harrelson field middle infield picks, with Don Kessinger at shortstop. Willie Stargell and Willie Mays shine in the outfield, Lou Brock tops the basepath charts, and a veteran pitching panel includes Carlton Ellis Dierker and Downing, eyeing a Nationals victory in the classic.
