The most unlikely All-Stars in Red Sox history

Major League Baseball just wrapped up the All-Star week festivities and the Red Sox will begin the remainder of their season against Detroit on Friday. The team has crushed it this year and sending five All-Stars to the nation’s capital including three starters in Mookie Betts, J.D. Martinez, and Chris Sale. You could also argue that Craig Kimbrel has been the best closer in the American League this season. The fifth and final selection for the team was Mitch Moreland—an unexpected selection indeed. His selection got me thinking about the most unlikely All-Star selections since 1960.
