Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Corey Hart and Tampa Bay rookie third baseman Evan Longoria were chosen by fans as the winners of the Monster 2008 All-Star Game Final Vote in record-shattering voting.

Baseball fans cast a record 47.8 million votes since the program commenced on Sunday, July 6.  This year's record number of votes represents an increase of 107% from the previous mark of 23.1 million fans set in 2007.

Hart  became the second Milwaukee Brewer player to win the All-Star Game Final Vote by holding off a late charge from David Wright of the New York Mets to claim the final spot on the National League All-Star roster.  Geoff Jenkins was the last Brewer to win in the final vote, in 2003.
