The annual popularity contest known as MLB’s All-Star Game voting will begin on Friday at ballparks around the major leagues, and also by various other means:

The 2012 All-Star Game Online Ballot will launch on Friday, the same day in-park balloting begins at Kauffman Stadium, and that begins the process of fans deciding on starting position players. The online ballot is up through June 28 -- exclusively at MLB.com and all 30 club sites, wired or mobile -- allowing you to cast up to 25 ballots per email address. Then, comes the always-frenetic finish with the All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote from July 1-5 and the annual MVP Vote during the Midsummer Classic to help decide who wins the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award.After that comes the process of players voted in excusing themselves for various reasons... oh, wait -- that’s supposed to have been fixed in the new CBA:

Players will be required to play in the All-Star Game unless injured or excused.“Or excused”. So we’ll look for that.

The 2012 All-Star Game will be played at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City on Tuesday, July 10.
