It was virtually an expansion team when they moved, but these guys played for each.  Thanks to David Vincent for this idea.  Notice that there are no lefty starting pitchers.

All-Time AL/NL All-Star Team

Scott Seigel of Brooklyn assembled this gem.  He tells us, “This was inspired by Roberto Alomar's HOF election.  This team of All-Stars, represents those players that were at least five-time major league All-Stars, but were represented both the American League and National League teams.”
