American League All Stars
Manager Casey Stengel of the American League All
Stan; has chosen, to no one's surprise, Bobby Shantz, the little
left hander from Philadelphia, as a starting pitcher on his
team, which will include such baseball luminaries as Phil
Rizzuto, Dom DiMaggio, A1 Rosen, and Yogi Berra.
Shantz now has a 13-2 record, the most wins in either
league. He's rated a "control" man, and should provide spec
tators with some first-class pitching. Along with Shantz,
Sten'ge 1 picked Satchel Paige, the ageless and colorful Negro
with the St. Louis Browns, Vic Raschi, Allie Reynolds, Mike
Garcia and Bib Lemon. Notable absentee from the line-up
is Rob Feller of Cleveland, who made his last appearance in
the classic in 11)50. Feller has made five appearances in all,
starting in, 1959. He received credit for just one victory in
1946. And that was the year that saw the Americans roll up
the largest win margin that has ever been recorded, 12-0.
So far, in the 18 games played*fo date, the Americans
have won 12 and dropped 6, and are likely to be favored in
the game coming up. Including last year's affair the game
has attracted 733,366 fans, with the biggest year way back in
1935 when 70,000 showed up in Cleveland and saw Paul Der- 1
ringer and Dizzy Dean lose to Lefty Gomez. J
Back to this year's squad. The starting line-up will in- 1
elude, aside from Shantz, in the event he gets the starting
pitching assignment, Phil Rizzuto, A1 Rosen, Dale Mitchell,
Dom DiMaggio, Hank Bauer, Eddie Robinson, Yogi Berra /
and Bobby Avila. That's quite a line-up that Stengel has to
work with?arff! with the hitting power he has in Rosen, Berra, I
DiMaggio and Bauer, he should win.
So far as teams go, the Indians led with seven represent- ti
atives, followed by the Yankees with six, the White Sox and b
Athletics with three each. Red Sox and Senators with two ^
each, and the Tigers and Browns with one each. a
DiMaggio. who will be making his fifth appearance, is
the "Dean" of the squad. Eight players will be making their i(
first appearance on the team: Mike Garcia, Bobbv Avila, A1 p
Rosen. Hank Bouer, Mickey Mantle, Eddie Yost, Satchel
Paige, and Jackie Jensen. ^

baseball team moved one notch
closer to a first place tie with Bun
