Major League Baseball’s inclusion of a representative from each team in the All-Star Game creates an interesting tradition. While some teams will end up with half a lineup of players on the roster, other teams will ultimately settle for a single guy. As you can imagine, less successful teams often fall into the latter category; and for a great many of these teams, their representative will end up being a reliever having a surprisingly good season who isn’t really a “star” by the strictest definition.
