The Phillies are urging fans to show their pride to a nine-year veteran, who has dealt with his fair share of cheers and jeers. Vote for Pat Burrell!

Burrell is having a great season. He has tallied 21 homers, second among National League outfielders, and he ranks among the league leaders in home runs.

Burrell is vying for the final player spot on the National League's 32-man roster, hoping to join teammates Chase Utley and Brad Lidge.

"Phillies fans came through four years ago and elected Bobby Abreu to the NL squad in the Final Vote by casting over two million votes," said Phillies president David Montgomery. "That's a lot of votes to cast in just a few short days, but Pat deserves the same support."

Fans can vote an unlimited amount of times on Phillies.com and WIP Sports Radio is hosting a marathon voting session on Tuesday afternoon at Harry the K's at Citizens Bank Park.

Don't forget to VOTE for Pat!
