Willie Mays, Ted Williams and the Greatest Hitters in All-Star Game History
Willie Mays, Stan Musial, Ted Williams and Hank Aaron
The 2012 MLB All-Star Game is tomorrow night! Here are the rosters.
It’s still fun to watch, but the game just ain’t what it used to be, despite the importance of its outcome: home field advantage in the World Series. And it isn’t just because of interleague play or lack of player enthusiasm (to the point of skipping the game).
The players just ain’t what they used to be, either.
Take a look at the all-time All-Star Game batting leaders below. These are some of the greatest and most exciting players to ever take the field.
Only two actives make an appearance – David Wright and Alfonso Soriano.
Willie Mays, Stan Musial, Ted Williams and Hank Aaron are the cream of the crop of all-time All-Star players, leading or appearing in most categories.
