He’s number one with most saves in the American League and number two in most saves all time. I spotted a few Mariano collectors items while I was shopping around today and I thought I would share with you two of my favorites.

Other fans like Nick Swisher practically earn their pinstripes over night.

After his first month of play, it’s no surprise that there’s a grassroots campaign to get Nick Swisher on to the All Star team.

He already has All Star numbers. In the first month of the season, he knocked out seven home runs, had 19 RBI’s, hit .300, had an OPS of 1.090 and an OBP of .427. What else can you ask for?

And this is all coming from a guy who was supposed to be sitting on the beach this season.

But it’s not just his numbers. Swisher is already a fan favorite because he’s a throwback player that’s always hustling and working hard. Plus, he has a positive attitude, always looking to do whatever it takes to make the team win.

In Tampa, he pitched one inning of relief against the Rays. He allowed only one hit, let up a walk and then retired the next three batters to end the inning. He’s the only player on the Yankees with a 0.00 ERA.

So, here’s what you need to do…

Visit the All Star Voting page and write him in. Don’t forget to vote for the other Yankees while you’re there. You can get all crazy and vote up to 25 times.

Then join the Vote Swisher group on Facebook, follow them on Twitter, then tell all your friends.
