オールスター投票 （the Monster 2007 All-Star Final Vote）締め切り間際、ALでは、岡島がわずかの差でタイガースのボンダーマンをリード。
Okajima took over the AL lead from Bonderman in Tuesday's daily update and is bidding to join teammates David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Jonathan Papelbon, Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell on the AL roster in San Francisco. Okajima not only has the strength of a very global Red Sox Nation fan base, but also a massive high-tech voting bloc in his native Japan.
"The two most passionate baseball nations in the universe, someone said," Red Sox president and CEO Larry Lucchino said. "Japan and Red Sox."

とまで言われては黙っていられないので、私も投票してみた。数字が読み取りにくいものの、OKだった。私の岡島票は約１０票。
