Bonds Is Top All-Star Vote-Getter : Baseball: Giant outfielder’s total is highest since 1980, but he’s one of two players who won’t get a bonus for being elected a starter.

Barry Bonds, who has helped the San Francisco Giants establish surprising dominance in the National League West, received more All-Star votes than any player since 1980, according to final tabulations released Wednesday.

In his first season with the Giants, the former Pittsburgh Pirate outfielder got 3,074,603 votes, the most since second baseman Davey Lopes of the Dodgers got 3,862,403 in 1980.

It was Bonds’ only reward, however.

Already guaranteed $43.75 million in his six-year contract with the Giants, he was one of only two players selected as a starter for Tuesday’s game in Baltimore who will not receive a bonus, as stipulated in so many contracts. Third baseman Gary Sheffield of the Florida Marlins is the other starter who will not get a bonus.

Outfielder Kirby Puckett of the Minnesota Twins receives the largest, $100,000, and catcher Ivan Rodriguez of the Texas Rangers the smallest, $10,000. All of the others will receive $50,000.

There were no Dodgers or Angles among the starters, but Mike Piazza of the Dodgers, third among catchers in National League voting behind Darren Daulton and Benito Santiago, is expected to be among the reserves, and either Chuck Finley or Mark Langston of the Angels is expected to be on the American League pitching staff.

Reserves and pitchers, chosen by managers Cito Gaston of the Toronto Blue Jays and Bobby Cox of the Atlanta Braves, will be announced today.

Bonds reacted characteristically to his near-record vote total.

“Well, I earned it,” he said. “It wasn’t given to me. I’ve worked very hard, especially with the pressure of the big contract.”

In other highlights of the fan vote:

--Seattle Mariner center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. led AL players with 2,696,918 votes and will start for the fourth consecutive year.

--There will be eight first-time starters, three in the AL and five in the NL, the most since there were nine in 1976. They include Philadelphia first baseman John Kruk, who said, “It’s kind of scary to think fans want to see me play. What is society coming to?”

--The Toronto Blue Jays, who lead the AL East, have the most starters, with first baseman John Olerud, second baseman Roberto Alomar and outfielder Joe Carter. Philadelphia, first in the NL East, is the only other team with more than one: Daulton and Kruk.

--The Phillies could tie the Blue Jays with three starters if Lenny Dykstra, fourth in voting among NL outfielders, is selected by Cox to replace Andy Van Slyke, elected as a starter even though he is on the disabled list.

--Barry Larkin of Cincinnati ended Ozzie Smith’s run of 10 consecutive elections as the NL shortstop, but Chicago Cub second baseman Ryan Sandberg won for the eighth consecutive time, shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. of Baltimore made it 10 in a row, and New York Yankee third baseman Wade Boggs stretched his starting streak to seven.

Typically, there were many players snubbed by the fans despite statistics--in some categories, at least--superior to those of the starters.

Among the overlooked are Texas’ Juan Gonzalez and Dean Palmer, Cleveland’s Albert Belle and Carlos Baerga, Detroit’s Cecil Fielder, Mickey Tettleton and Travis Fryman, Chicago White Sox’s Frank Thomas, Colorado’s Andres Galarraga and San Francisco’s Robby Thompson.
