FUKUOKA — Craig Brazell didn't care that he was almost left off the All-Star roster.
All that mattered was when all the players were introduced prior Friday's Nippon Professional Baseball All-Star Series Game 1, he was out there standing on the foul line alongside everyone else.
The Hanshin Tigers slugger was the final addition to the Central League squad, making his first All-Star roster in Japan after an Internet vote was held to determine the 29th members for both the CL and Pacific League teams.
