Who would you put on an all 80s baseball all-star team, one for the AL and one for the NL?

Hi,\n\nSix New York Yankees made the first American League all-star team in 1933.  They include starters Lefty Gomez, Ben Chapman, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth as well as substitutes, Bill Dickey and Tony Lazzeri, neither of whom got into the game.

I'd go with the 1992 team.  It was the year Andy Van Slyke had a career season, and the first season in which Barry Bonds showed himself to be a dominant force, hitting 34 homers and putting up an OBP of more than .450.  \n\nOn the mound, they got another excellent season from Doug Drakek (15 wins and a 2.77 ERA), while Bob Walk, Zane Smith and Randy Tomlin all pitched well.  They also brought up a 26-year-old knuckleballer named Tim Wakefield that year, and he'd be awesome during the second half of the season and into the playoffs.\n\nThe Pirates should have played for the World Series that season, but the usually astute Leyland made a bad pitching decision by leaving Doug Drabek in with a 2-0 lead going to the bottom of the ninth in Game Seven.  Drabek was tired, and he ended up loading the bases with nobody out before leaving the game in Belinda's hands.  I'm sure every Pirates and Braves fan remembers what would happen, with Sid Bream scoring on Francisco Cabrera's single to send the Braves to the Series.\n\nBonds would be in San Francisco the next season, Drabek came back down to being a mortal, and Van Slyke began a rapid decline.  But for a few seasons, they had a great run.

The first two to pop into my mind are Ozzie Smith, and Willie Mays, but that leaves out COUNTLESS other great players.  I'll edit this after I think a bit...\n\nAll right, with 16 consecutive gold gloves I'll throw Brooks Robinson in as number 3.\n\nHere's a list by position for the AL, year by year, (the list at the bottom includes both leagues)

Since the move to the Ballpark at Arlington, the Rangers have had pitchers selected to attend the All-Star game, which suggests it's not a question of pitchers' willingness to play there, but greater concerns about contracts or the future of the franchise.  Kenny Rogers, Jeff Zimmerman, Aaron Sele, Roger Pavlik, and John Wetteland were all excellent All-Star selections in spite of the "hitter friendly" park.  It's more about the team and management that keeps pitchers away, and less about the stadium.

No, the sport has spread enough that the USA would be slaughtered by a team of World All Stars.  The World Baseball Classic is different because each nation has some players but to consolidate them all against the USA wouldn't work so lets stick to NL vs AL.  I don't care for the homefield in the WS stipulation though.  The team with the best record should have homefield with the exception of a Division winner vs the Wild Card the division winner should always have homefield.

Lefty: Ken Griffey Jr. (hands down)\nRighty: Molitor is a nice choice...

A-Rod since the fans vote for the All Star starters.  Personally, Troy Glaus from Toronto should start.  Both have scored 50 runs, and ARod is hitting 8 pts higher (.281 for ARod, .273 for Glaus), but Glaus has 6 more HR's and 5 more RBI's.

Come on man Mike Lowell. Word? that can't be a fa real answer. there are only three 3rd baseman worth having in the AL. A-rod, Chavez, and Crede. I was ready to go with Chavez, who plays a mean hot corner. but after reading the page, Notso_25 makes  pretty good arguement for Joe Crede so I'ma have to go with Joe. I mean no one is more clutch than Joe. Sox wouldn't be the best team in baseball right now with out him.

I would say Kevin Millar to face LHP at 1B and also give some power in the OF.  No Padre has 10 HR this year.\nMaybe Aubrey Huff to play 3B and release/trade Castilla.

TRUE SLEEPERS? EVERYONE knows about King Felix, Duke, Cain and Liriano as they are probably already taken. Go with the guy Liriano's competing with for the 5th spot; Scott Baker, the Marlins Scott Olsen; yes definitely Anthony Reyes of the Redbirds. Justin Verlander of the Tigers is a future ace. Edwin Jackson of the Devil Rays and Dewon Brazeleton of the Padres have fallen off the radar, but worth keeping your eye on as these guys are free agents in your league!

Current or of all time? \n\nFor Current -- I'm going with the Rocket (Rodger Clemens). he's older than most players in the league, yet still throws in the upper 90's. last season he entered a game as a pinch hitter in the 14th inning and still threw a shut out. He's unbelievable, plus he has the competitive attitude I like (plus he isn't afraid to throw at batters' heads to back 'em off the plate).

Greetings from inside the Yahoo Brain in New York City!\nHope you're catching the live webcast at: http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html !\n\nAs the others have said, that year was great because both the AL and NL leaders had the same number of home runs--49!  Andre Dawson and a presumably pre-steroids Mark McGwire were the talented twosome.\n\nHope this helps!\n\n--J.
