WMA opens its Baseball All Star voting!!

The time of the year has come (despite the weather) where WMA invites you the fans to cast your vote for the best baseball players that West Michigan has to offer. We’ve teamed up with our good buddies over at West Michigan High School Baseball and provided our base list of players to include in this years voting. We offer the invitation to send us additional player names, schools and positions to add to this list before voting begins next week Monday May 23rd. Please send all nominations to wma@varsitynewsnetwork.com or find the link on our facebook page and leave us a comment! Check out WMHSBB’s take on this list!!
