Don't know, before my time, do remember the '56 Reds Fans stuffing the ballot boxes though.
Excellent YF, you got all but #3, 5, 6, and I'll list #10 a bonus, which I didn't expect too many to guess: (hard to believe Wells would ask for the Greater than great Legend's Jersey no. What a fool to think he'd get it....they say it doesn't hurt to ask, but....in this case, he played devil's advocate)- Here's those you didn't get, which I didn't expect many to figure those 3/4 Q's out.... 3. A. Bermuda, 1913 5. C. Lou Gehrig, 15-SB's 6. Jorge Posada 10- Six starters were Yankees: Red Rolfe, Bill Dickey, George Selkirk, Joe Gordon, Red Ruffing and Joe DiMaggio. Other Yankees on the AL squad included Frank Crosetti, Lefty Gomez and Johnny Murphy. Counting manager Joe McCarthy, there were ten Yankees on the All-Star team.
