I don't know if this has ever been discussed, but...

...who are some of the best pro baseball players to NEVER make an all-star team? I'm actually kinda stumped. I had a few in mind but they made all-starteams here and there.

Anyone? Just curious.
 
Hmmmm MLB would be a hard one I think simply cause every team has to be represented therefor dudes are always making ASGs.
 
Deion Sanders?

I was going to say Bo but he made the all-star team back in 89 and won all-star mvp also.
 
Mookie Blaylock
Mookie made one, 1994.

Here are the all-time leading NBA scorers who never made an all star game (stat is from SI and about 5 years old)

For MLB, how about Kirk Gibson? Never made one and has an MVP.

- Tim Salmon?

Other than that... uhhhhh... Tony Phillips? I always loved the way he played. He played 777 at 2B, 566 in left, 428 at 3B, 294 at short, 169 in right, 97 incenter, and 5 at 1B, along with DH-ing 101 games.

I love utility guys, and he was the first one I really followed and became a fan of.
 
Dave Henderson -
Dude was beyond clutch, he was like baseballs Robert Horry before Horry



Willie Wilson - straight speed - I think he was always overshadowed by Rickey Henderson


Im not even sure if they were ever all stars are not, they just came to mind

ehh NVM I searched,
Hendu made one all star appearance and Willie made 2.
 
^ I was about to say, I know Henderson was an All Star, and I was about to look Willie up, b/c I thought he had been.

Dave Henderson... everyone who was an Angel fan in the 80s should know that name.

just realized he said baseball. My apologies. Jose Reyes?????


Reyes has been in I believe 3; how the hell did Kirk Gibson never make 1 are you sure?

Hideo Nomo?
 
Hideo's been an AS; Gibby hasn't, and that's my vote so far.

If someone told me Kirk had never been an AS, I'd call them a liar.
