Texas pitcher Kenny Rogers will play in the 2005 MLB All-Star game according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. "People are going to do whatever they are going to do," Rogers said. "I'm going because I was voted in by the players, and I earned it. I want the players to know their vote means a lot to me. I know how the players feel, and if I thought it would benefit them if I didn't go, I wouldn't go."
