Although members of the Yount League debate the validity of all-star recognition, there is an actual all-star game on the major league level. It was arguably the most balanced year on record, with the Dodgers leading with six selections. With no mandatory all-star selection from each team, eight teams were shut out of recognition at the major league level, up one from last year.
In the minor leagues, every level has an all-star game except Rookie, which recognizes but has no actual game. Although the major-league Angels might set the record for worst record ever, the minor league system has a lot of stars, as the Angels set the pace with 25. The always-strong Orioles had 22, and the Padres had 21. For the second straight year, every team had an all-star.
