Season 24 All-Star Coverage

The mid-season classic is here, so let's take a look at who this season's All-Stars are!

In the American League, the squad is led by the only player in this season's game with double digit appearances, as Delino Santana is on the team for the 10th time.  Other than him, only 2 other players have more than 3 appearances in the All-Star game!  The top two teams in the power rankings, Helena and Little Rock, lead the way with 6 All-Stars each.  12 AL All-Stars are making their first appearance in the big game!

In the National League, it's Albert Valenzuela of Buffalo making his 9th appearance that leads the way, and Durham hurler Valerio Baez gets a mention for making his 7th All-Star team.  The NL team is well spread out, with Chicago, Durham, Honolulu and Las Vegas all tied for the most All-Stars with four.  Only 8 NL All-Stars are making their first appearance.

Here are the complete rosters!
