The All-Star Game isn't the only game in town. Forget voting for the best players of the first half of this season; we're looking for the best of 20 seasons of baseball on ESPN.
We asked you to help us narrow down the field for the best players and managers during 20 years of baseball on ESPN. The first round of voting is complete, and we've got the three finalists you selected at each position. Now it's time to pick the winners.
For this week's edition, three of the finest modern-era second basemen square off. The winner will be announced Aug. 16 on Sunday Night Baseball (Philadelphia at Atlanta, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN). On Aug. 17, you'll have a chance to vote on a third baseman to join the team. The final team will be announced Sept. 20 on Sunday Night Baseball.
Without further ado, the three second baseman finalists you selected:
Roberto Alomar: This fielding sensation was voted into the All-Star Game 12 straight times and has won more Gold Gloves (10) than any other second baseman in baseball history. Other notable achievements include four Silver Slugger Awards, the 1992 ALCS most valuable player and the 1998 All-Star Game MVP. He also batted over .300 nine times in his career.
Craig Biggio: A Houston Astro for his entire career, Biggio was selected seven times for the All-Star team. He won four Gold Glove Awards as well as five Silver Slugger Awards. He is a member of the 3,000 hit club (the ninth person ever to do it all with the same team) and ranks 20th all-time in carrier hits, with 3,060. His No. 7 jersey was retired by the Astros in 2008.
Ryne Sandberg: Sandberg, commonly referred to as "Ryno," was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005. During his playing days, Sandberg went to 10 straight All-Star Games and won nine straight Gold Glove Awards. He was awarded the Silver Slugger seven times, and in 1984 named the NL MVP. His Chicago Cubs jersey (No. 23) is retired.

Hey Kobe, if you're still not sure who Jeremy Lin is, he's the one who's put up 9 points already.
