<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/teams/ANA">Angels</a> are hosting the All-Star Game this year, and the home fans will have just one player to cheer for, in <span>Torii Hunter</span>.</p>
<p>This is the fourth All-Star Game for Hunter, who is hitting .288 with a .370 on-base percentage and .498 slugging percentage this season. Hunter was voted in as a reserve by players, per Lyle Spencer of <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/LyleMSpencer/status/17731703806">MLB.com</a>.</p>
<p><span>Jered Weaver</span> should have made the team as well, but was snubbed. He is 8-3 with a 2.82 ERA in 17 starts this season, and leads the American League in strikeouts with 124. Last week, Mat Gleason made the case that <a target="_blank" href="http://losangeles.sbnation.com/2010/6/28/1540825/should-jered-weaver-start-the-all">Weaver should start the game</a>, in his home park.</p>
<p>The All-Star Game has been played in Anaheim on two other occasions, in 1967 and 1989. Other Angels to play an All-Star Game in Anaheim were Jim Fregosi, Jom McGlothlin and Don Mincher in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ALS/ALS196707110.shtml">1967</a>, and Devon White in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ALS/ALS198907110.shtml">1989</a>.</p>
