Tell me if this seems right. 15 teams in the league and there are 9 starters. Assuming the starters are randomly distributed among the teams, that would be .6 starters per team each year, i.e., a 60% chance of having a starter in a given year. So a 40% chance of NOT having a starter in a given year.
If my logic and math are correct, the likelihood of no starters from any given team for 9 years is 0.0262144% -- or about 1 in 3,800.
But we are due, right?
Congrats, Cal, very much deserved!

The athletics and marlins have both gone 10 years without an All Star starter

It's pretty sweet to have a Mariner all-star who definitely deserves to be there.
