	Kicking myself for forgetting Musial. Couldn't spell Yaz, couldn't come up with Kilebrew's name. Carew, Banks and Gwynn I should have thought of. Before people start asking "Where was Ruth, etc.", the first All Star Game was played in 1933, Ruth retired in 1935, so he and the greats from his era and before didn't have the chance.

	Missed three, and one of those was Bonds. I can live with that.

	Great quiz! What about a Home Run Derby Appearances quiz also?

	Thanks, this was a fun one. Would be great to see a version for the NBA too.

	There were two all-star games per year from 1959-62, so guys who played through that era get a little boost up the list. The guy with 25 appearances was an all-star in 21 seasons, for example.

	Throughout the whole quiz, I kept guessing pitcher after pitcher to no avail, then figured the whole quiz was hitters, got to 27 out of 28. The one I miss? Spahn, go figure

	Yaz should be acceptable for Yastrzemski

	@Bryant: I was surprised at the lack of pitchers, too. I know a lot of them get lifetime all-star nods through the fan voting once they get a few. But pitchers who had long careers like Maddux, Carlton and Ryan, you'd figure at least one or two of them would be in the mid-teens.

	Got 24/28. Bonds was the only one I'm kicking myself over. A little surprised Craig Biggio wasn't on the list, though. Seemed like he played forever and was one of those "lifetime exemptions" I mentioned earlier. Alas, only seven appearances -- none after 1997. Could've knocked me over with a feather on that one.

	@Ernest: Pitchers aren't voted in by the fans, but by the players and managers, which is the reason why they usually don't get to the All-Star game on their down years. Also, pitchers wear down much faster than hitters.

	23/28, but I'm considering deducting myself a few for missing Ted Williams.

	Playing with the Astros probably didn't help Biggio in making many All Star teams.

	By my comment, I meant Houston isn't a team that gets a lot of major media attention like the Yankees or dodgers so people may have overlooked him in the voting.

	Good lord, I forgot Aaron. Interesting, there's only one pitcher on this list.

	@Matt: No way. Carlton Fisk was also nicknamed "Pudge" and is someone a lot of people would guess.

	DonnyB:	Jun 27th, 2009 at 21:53 GMT		4 points
	Can't believe I spaced on Musial. He's so underrated. How about one for the player with the most home runs at each ballpark?

	@Chronosaurus: I get that that's why there's so many position players on this list. But you look at guys like Seaver, Carlton, Maddux and Ryan, they were all very, very good for a period of 10-15 years or more. I would have figured they were perennial all-stars during that period.

	I need to quit spelling Harmon Killebrew's name wrong.

	Check it again. He was an All Star in 11 seasons, but played in 14 games, according to the right hand column. He played in three of the "extra" All Star Games they had.

	pbysr:	Jun 28th, 2009 at 02:40 GMT		0 points
	Seaver played in 12 All Star Games. He played in nearly every one from 1967-1981. Had he stayed in NY he probably would have gotten at least one more. Clemens had 11. Ryan unsurprisingly only made 8 teams because of his unflattering statistics (Win-Loss especially.) Surprsingly, Maddux made only 8 teams.

	What did the first post say before it was censored (deleted)?

	Al Kaline must have used a lot of batteries! Am I right? Am I right-.....i'm gonna go sit in a corner now...

	MovieDynamic: My guess is that he was saying how bad American sports are and how tedious it is to see one American sports quiz after the other.

	@MovieDynamic I don't know what he said but the comment was removed by the admins. If I knew what he said and repeated it, the admins would, presumably, remove that too, so there's not a lot of point asking.

	Kicking myself for missing Yogi Berra

	chikka2:	Jun 29th, 2009 at 03:47 GMT		1 point
	Missed Berra,got Spahn. As a non-American who loved baseball I did not too badly. Surprised not to see Fisk and couldn't spell Yaz. That about wraps it up. Great quiz.

	Camden:	Jun 29th, 2009 at 20:43 GMT		1 point
	interesting that Mike Schmidt isn't on this list. Who else would have been going at third base in the national league during his era? I thought he would be one of those guys like Ripken, Smith, Berra, etc. who get voted in even during an off year because of a lack of competition at their positions.

	What current players do you think have the best shot at making this list in the future? Howard? Pujols? Jeter? Ichiro?

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Jul 1st, 2009 at 19:17 GMT		2 points
	Camden, Schmidt is just off the list with 12 appearances. He took a couple seasons to get going but then he did make it pretty much every year. There actually were some pretty good 3B at that time -- Bill Madlock, Ron Cey, Darrell Evans...not all-time greats but All-Star caliber players at their best.

	@jaspa: Chase Utley. Best second basemen in the league.

	tcr:	Jul 9th, 2009 at 22:57 GMT		1 point
	Manny and ARod have 12 so they have a good chance to make it next year. Otherwise, Jeter and Ichiro are too old and Pujols has 8 so he has a decent chance, considering he is the best hitter in baseball right now.

	Nuclear_Knuckles:	Jul 13th, 2009 at 22:31 GMT		1 point
	Utley is not going to make it. He's 30 and only has 4, and second basemen tend not to age well. I'd be surprised if he reaches 10.

	TIMTEBOW15:	Jul 14th, 2009 at 16:57 GMT		1 point
	Longoria should be on this list soon. Hes only 25 and he already has 2. He got voted 2nd in the Al in a year when he was probably 3rd or 4th in his team MVP race. He's a real fan favorite. and when AROD starts to get older, Longo will be the starter every year.
