With the Yankees currently hovering near the top of the standings, you should expect them to have a number of All-Stars when the teams are unveiled in a couple days. It wouldn’t be the first time; considering the team’s history, it’s no surprise the Yankees have often had multiple selections. In some of those cases, the players weren’t exactly deserving, and in others, a deserving player did not have a great showing on the game’s big stage.
DiMaggio is obviously an all-time legend, and deserved to be an All-Star in his first season. However, his first All-Star Game appearance left something to be desired.
