I offer my congratulations to all twelve of you. However, I'm only wishing good luck to Alex & Royce.

PS: I created this post on my phone which is not ideal. Apologies for any wonky formatting.

Jazz Chisholm Jr.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. had a very good week at the plate. He had 9 hits in 27 at-bats for a .333 average with one double, 2 home runs and 5 RBI.

But it's what he did as a base runner that really put Chisholm over the top last week. He stole base 4 times! Two of those times were in the very same inning. Stealing bases is not necessarily the most valuable skill in baseball, but it is really fun to watch.

Speaking of fun to watch. Here's how Chisholm arrived at the ballpark a couple weeks ago.

Congratulations, Jazz Chisholm Jr.! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.

2022 All-Star Game Red Carpet

My Top Ten Favorite MLB All-Star Game Red Carpet Looks

Werk it, boys!

10. Trea Turner. A grey suit might not be the boldest fashion statement--that's why it's #10 on this list. However, Trea Turner looks great in it--that's why it made the list.

9. Jazz Chisholm Jr. Bringing Bahamian chic to the All-Star Game.

8. Tony Gonsolin. I have a soft spot for hipster dandies. Since he was one of the few players to fly solo on the red carpet, I went to see if he's single (he's not?), and something fun popped up. If you Google "Tony Gonsolin" the top choice for the next word is "cats". That explains the pocket square and emblem. 

7. Mookie Betts. In theory, I don't like this outfit, but somehow he's making it work. That's the magic of Mookie Betts. I named him my MLBoyfriend twice when he played for the hateful Boston Red Sox, and I naming him one of the best dressed on the ASG red carpet in a boarderline douchey outfit.

6. Dansby Swanson. He's a good looking guy in a nice suit, but this is really Dansby Swanson's consolation prize for being runner up for MLBoyfriend multiple times this summer but never winning the prize.

5. Jose Trevino. You had me at metallic brocade suit. Chef's kiss for the child's matching sports coat.

4. Byron Buxton. MLBoyfriend favorite, Byron Buxton did my hometown team proud on the ASG red carpet. Plus, that is one beautiful family.

3. Ronald Acuña Jr. Sparkle, Ronald Acuña Jr, sparkle!

2. Starling Marte. It's been a year since he's been on MLBoyfriend, but Starling Marte and his wife's matching décolletages brought him roaring back.

1. Martín Pérez. He took home the MLBoyfriend crown two months ago, and now, Martín Pérez is--hands down--my pick for best dressed on the MLB All-Star Game red carpet. From head to toe--literally, the sunglasses and the kicks are both fantastic--just a fabulous look. Bonus points for outstanding coordination (without being overly matchy-matchy) as a family.
