Quotable!
"I think I have already signed some scrap of paper for every man, woman and child in the United States. What do they do with all those scraps of paper with my signature on it?"
--Vida Blue, Oakland A's pitcher
 

The Sporting News All-Stars

By Patrick Mondout
Awards

The Sporting News (TSN) has been naming All-Star teams for over 80 years. Between 1925 and 1960, one team was selected by a ballot of Baseball Writers Association of America members after the season as the Major League All-Star Team. Starting in 1961, a squad from each league was selected.
