Which 10 Players Have the Most MLB All-Star Game Selections?

Which 10 Players Have the Most MLB All-Star Game Selections?

Fox Sports4 days ago
The 2025 MLB All-Star Game was one of, if not the most unique Midsummer Classic of all time. After the American League mounted a six-run comeback, the game was tied following the bottom of the ninth inning, triggering a swing-off – essentially, a miniature Home Run Derby – to determine the winner, with Kyle Schwarber's three long balls helping the National League come away with the victory.
Many of the players who were present for the 2025 All-Star Game were ones that had numerous All-Star trips under their belt. On that note, which players have the most career All-Star selections?
Here are the 10 players with the most All-Star Game selections in MLB history. Players With the Most All-Star Game Selections T-7. Carl Yastrzemski: 18
Before "The Miz," we had "Yaz." Spending his entire 23-year career with the Boston Red Sox (1961-83), Yastrzemski earned 18 All-Star nods. A three-time batting champion and Triple Crown-winner who led the American League in hits twice and doubles three times, Yastrzemski also earned seven Gold Gloves while claiming both the 1967 AL MVP Award and the 1970 MLB All-Star Game MVP Award. A consistent force from the left side of the plate, Yastrzemski is ninth in MLB history with 3,419 career hits. T-7. Brooks Robinson: 18
A 16-time Gold Glover at the hot corner, Robinson is one of the best third basemen of all time. Spending his entire 23-year career with the Baltimore Orioles (1955-77), Robinson made 18 All-Star Game rosters and was part of two Orioles' title teams in 1966 and 1970, earning World Series MVP honors in the latter year and posting an unreal .485/.471/.788 slash line in the 1970 postseason. A balanced hitter from the right side, Robinson was the 1964 AL MVP and the MVP of the 1966 All-Star Game. T-7. Al Kaline: 18
Kaline has a case for being the best player not named Ty Cobb to play for the Detroit Tigers. Spending his entire 22-year career in Motown (1953-74), the 18-time All-Star claimed 10 Gold Gloves and won the 1955 batting title. Starring on Detroit's 1968 championship team, Kaline posted a .379/.400/.655 slash line in the 1968 World Series. Kaline primarily camped out in right field but also extensively played center field and dabbled at first base. T-7. Rod Carew: 18
The list of pure contact hitters better than Rod Carew is a short one, if it even exists at all. A member of the 3,000-hit club, Carew, who began his career playing second base before later getting moved to first, earned 18 trips to the All-Star Game in a career split between the Minnesota Twins (1967-78) and California Angels (1979-85). Carew won seven AL batting titles, while leading the AL in hits and WAR three times apiece and claiming the 1977 AL MVP Award. T-7. Yogi Berra: 18
A three-time AL MVP, Berra spent all but four games of his Hall of Fame career with the New York Yankees, with whom he became a pillar in franchise history. The catcher earned 18 All-Star trips with the Bronx Bombers, while being part of an absurd 10 championship teams: 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1962. Berra is one of the best all-around catchers in league history. T-5. Ted Williams: 19
Williams spent his entire 19-year MLB career in Boston (1939-42, 1946-60), with whom he's first in franchise history in several categories, including WAR (121.8), batting average (.344) and home runs (521). While earning 18 All-Star nods, Williams also won two Triple Crowns, six AL batting titles, led the AL in home runs four times, WAR six times and won two AL MVP awards (1946 and 1949). Moreover, Williams' career .482 on-base percentage ranks first in MLB history. T-5. Cal Ripken Jr.: 19
When you play in 2,632 consecutive games — an MLB record — there are going to be many accolades that come your way. Nineteen All-Star nods being among them for Ripken, who spent his entire 21-year career with the Orioles (1981-2001). Part of Baltimore's 1983 World Series triumph, the star shortstop was a two-time AL MVP (1983 and 1991), two-time Gold Glover, eight-time Silver Slugger and led the AL with 211 hits in 1983. Meanwhile, Ripken was the MVP of both the 1991 and 2001 All-Star Game. 4. Mickey Mantle: 20
Arguably the best switch hitter in MLB history, Mantle earned 20 MLB All-Star honors. A three-time AL MVP (1956, 1957 and 1962), Mantle earned one Gold Glove, won the 1956 Triple Crown and led the AL in home runs in four seasons. Of course, the power-hitting Mantle was part of seven championship teams on the Yankees, with whom he spent his entire 18-year career (1951-68): 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961 and 1962. T-2. Stan Musial: 24
"Stan The Man" was sent to the All-Star Game 24 times. A three-time NL MVP (1943, 1946 and 1948), Musial won seven NL batting titles, led the NL in hits six times and WAR four times, while being a featured element of three St. Louis Cardinals championship teams (1942, 1944 and 1946). Musial, who spent his entire 22-year career with the Cardinals (1941-44, 1946-63), is one of the best pure hitters in the history of the sport and fourth all-time with 3,630 career hits. T-2. Willie Mays: 24
Mays made catches over his shoulder and hit pound-for-pound with the best of them, helping him earn 24 All-Star honors. A two-time NL MVP (1954 and 1965), Mays earned 12 Gold Gloves, led the NL in home runs four times, triples three times, won the 1954 NL batting title and helped the then-New York Giants win the 1954 World Series. The superstar outfielder, who played 21-plus seasons with the Giants (1951-52 and 1954-72), also won the 1963 and 1968 All-Star Game MVP awards. 1. Henry Aaron: 25
In what was the first All-Star Game in Atlanta since Aaron passed in 2021, MLB honored the legendary figure during the 2025 MLB All-Star Game by recreating his 715th career home run — which, at the time it was hit in 1974, passed Babe Ruth for the most in MLB history — with the stadium lights off and lasers projecting the play. Aaron, who stands second in MLB history with 755 home runs and third with 3,771 hits, won the 1956 and 1959 batting titles, was a three-time Gold Glover, won the 1957 NL MVP Award, led the NL in home runs four times and helped the Braves win the 1957 World Series. Oh, and he earned a record 25 All-Star honors.

Ex-MLB pitcher Ben McDonald plunges 25 feet from deer stand, suffers serious injuries

Ben McDonald, the Baltimore Orioles' No. 1 overall pick of the 1989 MLB Draft, revealed in a social media post on Friday he suffered serious injuries after he fell 25 feet from a deer stand. McDonald posted a video of himself in a hospital bed as he tried to put the pieces together on what led to his fall. "This is what a severe concussion looks like and sounds like (I still don't remember anything) Apparently I fell out of a deer stand 25 feet up yesterday morning," he wrote on X. "I'm fine and appreciate everyone checking on me. Very lucky…. concussion and 2 cracked vertebra's…. I'll be back in #Birdland soon calling Orioles games. Thank you all for all (your) thoughts and (prayers) and thank you to the doctors. See yall soon." McDonald is an avid hunter and expressed as much in a social media post in December. At the time, he wrote that he was hunting when he began to think about his dad. Suddenly, a giant buck approached him, and he was able to bag him. "I normally don't share too many of my thoughts on social but this is too good not to share. I lost my dad in January… sitting in a bowstand yesterday enjoying hunting season without him for the first time gave me a chance to reflect on all the hours we spent together on ball fields, basketball courts, and in the deer woods," McDonald wrote. "I was having a conversation with him telling him how much I miss him and thanking him for everything he did for us and our family and the many sacrifices he made. "I had a good cry as I wish he was still here for one more hunting season or just to have one more talk…. 5 minutes after I dried my eyes and focused back on the hunt…. out walked an absolute giant…. this buck could have gone anywhere in the 6 acre plot but followed a doe to 24 yards under my tree…. the shot was true as he bounded out in the middle of the plot and tipped over in seconds! "No doubt this was divine intervention courtesy of the man upstairs and #PawPaw…. the great outdoors is home for me… it's where I'm probably most comfortable! It's not always about the harvest it's about making memories! This buck will always be know as #PawPaw's Buck!" McDonald was a star pitcher at LSU before the Orioles selected him No. 1 overall in 1989. He became a fairly serviceable pitcher in his prime. He had a 3.91 ERA with 894 strikeouts in 211 appearances. He spent the final two seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. The final season of his career was in 1997. He's currently a color commentator for MASN and on Orioles' radio broadcasts. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
