So much for Puig-mania sweeping the country. Give this contest to Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman. Freeman and Toronto reliever Steve Delabar won the fan voting for the final spots in next weeks All-Star game, meaning Los Angeles Dodgers sensation Yasiel Puig is likely headed for a few days off after a terrific stretch to begin his major league career. Freeman set a record with 19.7 million votes, and Puig was second. Major League Baseball didnt release the vote total for Puig, but said the Cuban defector also surpassed the previous record for the final vote of 15.6 million for Shane Victorino in 2009. "Its unbelievable," Freeman said. "Im kind of speechless. I wouldnt be here without the fans and I just saw that its 19.7 million votes. Its incredible and its just a dream come true." Freeman was taking ground balls during batting practice before Atlantas 6-5 victory over Cincinnati on Thursday night when general manager Frank Wren called him over and told him about his first All-Star selection. The slugger had three hits and four RBIs against the Reds and is batting .313 with nine homers and 60 RBIs in 79 games. "I never, ever thought that I would make one," Freeman said. "I just wanted to get to the big leagues, and when I got here I just wanted to win ballgames. All-Star games were not on my mind. "To win this is just beyond me." Puig wont get to play in the July 16 game at Citi Field in New York unless he is added as an injury replacement. The outfielder is batting .394 with eight homers and 19 RBIs heading into Thursday nights home game against Colorado, helping the Dodgers shoot up the NL West standings following a slow start. "I dont have my head down at all," Puig said through an interpreter before the game. "I want to congratulate Freddie Freeman for winning the vote. Im happy for everyone who voted. I have to keep playing. Hopefully the best things come out for this team for the future." Puig has been in the majors for only five weeks, leading some to question whether he belongs on the NL team. "If he can continue to do what hes doing over seasons, then were going to see a lot of Yasiel," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "How good you are really is measured over time." The final vote for the AL team also had its share of controversy, with Tigers manager Jim Leyland nominating five middle relievers for the spot. There was some talk about whether the list should have included more high-profile players, since the All-Star game is essentially geared toward the fans. Delabar won with 9.6 million votes. The right-hander is 5-1 with a 1.74 ERA in 37 appearances for the Blue Jays. The Braves and Blue Jays had partnered up in the process, asking fans to vote for each others player. The other players on the list included righties David Robertson of the Yankees, Joaquin Benoit of the Tigers, Koji Uehara of the Red Sox, and Tanner Scheppers of the Rangers. Freeman and Puig finished ahead of San Francisco outfielder Hunter Pence, Washington shortstop Ian Desmond, and Los Angeles first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. MLB said a record 79.2 million votes were cast between the two leagues, easily cruising past the previous record of 68.6 million from 2009. Votes were cast through text message, Twitter and MLB.com.

The recently retired Stern was elected Friday to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and will be enshrined with the class of 2014 on Aug. Stamford Bridge hosts the biggest game of the Premier League this weekend.Its top of the table Chelsea (9-1-2) against London rivals Tottenham (6-6-0) -- the only team yet to taste defeat in the English top-flight.But its not just the context of this season that makes Saturdays derby such a tantalising fixture.The most recent meeting of these teams became known as the Battle of the Bridge and will go down in the folklore of both clubs. Chelseas recovery from two goals down to draw 2-2 mathematically ended Tottenhams dream of a title challenge that had long since been ended by Leicester Citys unstoppable march.But it wasnt just the loss of what would have been Spurs first title in over half a century that makes the encounter so memorable. Tottenham were shown nine yellow cards in that match -- the most by any team in Premier League history -- as they went down fighting, almost literally at times. The card tally could and should have seen reds along with those nine yellows, while Mousa Dembeles eye gouge on Diego Costa saw him hit with a lengthy six-game suspension.Thats the context going into Saturdays game, but Chelsea are a different prospect under Antonio Conte this season and it will take more than just physicality to contain them. It took the Italian a while to implement his style at the Bridge, but the teams switch to a 3-4-3 formation just under two months ago has transformed Chelsea. The back-three shape has impressed as the Blues have picked up six straight wins and six straight clean-sheets -- a run that has seen them soar to the summit of the Premier League and boost them into contention for the title.The new formation is very good for the team, its a great system for us, attacking midfielder Pedro said. We feel very good on the pitch, we are happy with our situation and we hope to continue in the right way. Now we must go game by game.Right wing-back Victor Moses has been a revelation in the system, providing attacking threat and defensive solidity in his position, but coach Conte hasnt bbeen surprised by his impact -- only that he has failed to make such a splash previously in his Chelsea career.dddddddddddd.I could see his potential from the first days of the summer training camp, Conte said. Moses has important qualities: technique, physical strength, the ability to cover 70 metres of the pitch. I find it incredible that someone like him has been underestimated.A lack of European competition is another advantage for Chelsea, with Conte able to train his team throughout the week without a distraction, while Saturdays opponents Spurs (in contrast) have been weighed down by their Champions League commitments so far this season.Tottenham crashed out of the competition with a 2-1 defeat away in Monaco on Tuesday evening, but manager Mauricio Pochettino was keen to move on and pick his players up after the loss.Now we need our heads up and to lift ourselves, the Argentine coach said. Chelsea have had a clear week to prepare for us, and now we can start to prepare for Chelsea. Its an advantage but we need to be ready, we need to be strong and like always, to show character and to be competitive.Chelsea have no reported injury concerns, but Tottenham have a problem at left-back with Danny Rose suspended and Ben Davies out injured. Erik Lamela and Toby Alderweireld are also out, with the pair highly likely to have started if fit.Tottenham have conceded only four goals away from home this season -- a league low -- but are coming up against the team with the second-best defensive record in the league and an attack that has sparked into life of late.Form, fitness and preparation would all point to a Chelsea win, which would continue a remarkable trend in this fixture. Spurs have not won at Stamford Bridge in any competition since 1990. Thats a run of 29 games without a win, and just six of Tottenhams 23 Premier League players used this season were even born then.
