2018 MLB All-Stars Ranked By How Cute Their Pets Are

This year’s class of MLB All-Stars can be ranked in many ways. We could rank them by WAR, by time in the league or even by height. But you can click “sort” on spreadsheets yourself. Why not get a little more adventurous? We’re here to rank every All-Star by … pet cuteness.

If you don’t see your favorite All-Star on this list, it’s not because we think his pet is ugly! Now, not every All-Star appears to have a pet, and some, like Joey Votto, have pets that are a bit camera-shy. Also, every single one of these pets is cute and perfect, and the main thing that distinguishes each one is just a fraction of a degree (but the difference is still there, those are just the rules of ranking things).

And now, here are your 2018 All-Stars ranked by pet cuteness, in ascending order.
