Mays Heads NL All-Star Team
San Fianci.spfj Giant’s (‘(>nlcrfielder Willie Mays and
Milwaukee Bi-aves catcher Joe Torre are the only Nation-
til League all-star repeaters and will head the team as it
attempts to ovci’tako the American League stars for the
first titne since liie game began back in 1933.
Tile National Leaguers tied the series last season.
Roth the American and National League teams hold 17-
17-1 records. The two dream teams battled to a 1-1 tie in
1961.
This year’s contest will be held July 13 in Minnesota.
Mays collected 250 voles out of a possible 255 and
this will be the 12th straight year that he has been named
to the starting lineup. Vada Pinson of the Cincinnati Reds
will be the second .-.tring centerfielder as he placed second
in the balloting with 17 v«}tes.
Milwaukee Braves cmcher Joe 'rorre also won his
position easily polling 246 votes to only 24 for the number
two backstop, John Edwards of Cincinnati.
Mays and Torre were the only repeaters from last
year's lineup which included first baseman Orlando Ce-
peda, second baseman Ron Hunt, third baseman Ken Boy
er, shortstop Dick Groat and outfielders Billy Williams
and Roberto Clemente.
Of these, only Williams was able to make the second
team. He drew 151 votes compared to 194 for Pittsburgh’s
Will Stargell.
Cincinnati led in team polling by placing five players
on the dream team but only one, second baseman Pete
Rose, will be on the starting team. Rose edged Milwaukee’s
Frank Bolling 110-100 for the starting role.
Milwaukee will liave two players on the starting team,
right fielder Henry Aaron and catcher Joe Torre. The team,
sooH to he the Atlanta, Ga., Braves, placed second in team
balloting with three players.
Chicago had three players to make the team, Phila
delphia, two. and three other teams, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, and Pittsburgh, placed one each.
Here’s the way the voting went in the National
League: CATCHER; Joe Torre, Milwaukee, 246- John Ed
wards, Cincinnati, 24. FIRST BASE: Ernie Banks, Chicago,
164; Gordy Coleman, Cincinnati, 33. SECOND BASE: Pete
Rose, Cincinnati, 110; F”ank Bolling, Milwaukee, 100.
THIRD BASE: Richie Allen, Philadelphia, 137; Ron Santo,
Chicago, 85. SHORTSTOP: Maury Wills, Los Angeles, 141;
Leo Cardenas, Cincinnati, 87. LEFT FIELD: Will Stargell,
Pittsburgh. 194; Billy Williams, Chicago, 61; CENTER
FIELD; vyillie Mays, San Francisco, 250; Vada Pin.son,
Cincinnati, 17; RIGHT FIELD: Henry Aaron, Milwaukee,
204- Johnny Callison, Philadelphia, 28.
No Yankee In AL Star'fing Lineup
For the first time in the history of the All-Star game,
no member of the New York Yankees is in the starting
lineup. Two Yankees, however, made the alternate squad,
catcher Elston Howard and second baseman Bobby Rich
ardson.
The lone repeater in the American League lineup will
be third baseman Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore Ori
oles. Robin.son was the league’s Most Valuable Player in
64 and out-voted alternate Max Alvis of Cleveland 170-79.
Earl Battey of Minnesota had no trouble gaining the
starting role behind the plate as he polled 202 votes as
compared to Howard’s 38. Howard mis.sed the first four
weeks of the season due to an arm injury.
Minnesota placed four players on the team, Cleveland
and Detroit, three each. New York and Boston, two each
and Chicago and Baltimore one apiece. But the pitchers
in both leagues, are yet to be named.
Both leagues must be stronger this year as only three
repeaters start the game. The surprising thing in the Na
tional League is that no member of the World Champion
St. Louis Cardinal team made the All-Star team. And in
the American League such names as Roger Maris and
Mickey Mantle are not on the list.
Cardinal third baseman Ken Boyer, the National
League s Mo.st V aluable Player in ’64, failed to make the
squad, as did Frank Robinson, Roberto Clemente, and Bill
WAite.
The only close balloting in the American League was
fcir the first base position where Chicago’s Bill Skowron
edged Minnesota’s Harmon Killebrew 126-108. This year
marks (ho sixth time that Skowron has been named to the
squad.
The American League team, with the exception of the
pitchers, will look like this: CATCHER; Earl Battey, Min
nesota, 202; Elston Howard, New York, 38; FIRST BASE:
