Even still, there could be arguments made for two more pitchers. Luis Tiant who was the starting pitcher in the 1968 ASG and Mike Cueller who was named The Sporting News All Star LHP.
************************************************
My latest project is making All Star Cards That Never Year for the years 1958-62 and 1968-70. During those years Topps decision making on these cards was haphazard and a mystery to everybody but Topps. They were NOT based on the current season's "Sporting News All Stars" nor the previous season's ASG starters. So I've made additional cards based on this criteria.
What started as an idea for a small project, ballooned to over 150 cards so I'll be posting these in small doses. I'll be breaking it down by year, league (NL or AL), and positions (battery, infield and outfield).
Nice additions. Luis Tiant is one of my favorite pitchers. His performance in the 75 World Series was outstanding. He and the Red Sox came very close to pulling off an upset of the The Big Red Machine.
