The All-Star Game is supposed to be about the best of the best, but this year, it’s also about who has the loudest, proudest support system. And for Francisco Lindor and Max Muncy, the fiercest campaigners aren’t wearing cleats, they’re holding phones and posting stories.

As the final round of MLB All-Star voting opened, Francisco Lindor’s wife, Katia, and Max Muncy’s wife Kellie jumped right into action. Within hours, their Instagram stories turned into digital billboards, boldly reminding fans: this isn’t just about stats, it’s personal.

Katia kicked things off with a striking red graphic of her husband grinning in his Mets uniform. The message? Direct and passionate: “Comenzó la fase 2. Recuerden votar por el nuestro…” (Phase 2 has begun. Remember to vote for ours.)

Well, Katia wasn’t just reposting, she was rallying. There was urgency in her tone, and the pride in every word. The story doubled as a family call to arms, with Katia making sure Francisco Lindor’s household left no vote on the table.

Then came Kellie Muncy, who took a different approach, heartfelt and deeply personal. Her post featured Max mid-swing, decked out in Dodgers white. But it was her caption that tugged on emotions: This is just a testament to how freaking hard you’ve worked to overcome a really rough start. So incredibly proud of you!

Kellie reminded fans of Muncy’s rocky road this season and why his spot on the All-Star ballot means more than ever. In the two posts, fans saw two sides of the same fierce love: one rallying with conviction, the other lifting up with emotion. And both equally effective.

Does Lindor's wife's fiery campaign outshine Muncy's heartfelt plea in the All-Star voting battle?
