A first glance at the NL All-stars

Here at Peanuts From Heaven Inc. we know that the busy Minnesota Twins fan doesn't necessarily have time to learn, or care about players on other teams. So we are happy to provide a quick glossary of who these players are and how you can recognize them.
Our overview of other all-stars continues with the National League
NL
C-Geovany Soto--Non-descript, but thankfully wears a mask
1B-Lance Berkman--Mike Lamb's inspiration for a prospector's beard
2B-Chase Utley--as non-descript as Seto, but without the mask.
SS-Hanley Ramirez--mini-goat, plays like a young Alex Rodriguez
3B-Chipper Jones--who cares?
OF-Alfonso Soriano--looks/acts like he did with the Yankees, just wears a different uniform
OF-Kosuke Fukadome--Hansel to Ichiro's Zoolander
OF-Ryan Braun--big smile, searching for a synagogue in Milwaukee
**Bench
C-Brian McCann--ATL--Tubby and scruffy...what a catcher ought to be
C-Russel Martin--LA--Rectangular headed Roy Campanella
1B-Albert Pujols--STL--The best hitting unibrow in baseball
