3B?

OF: Mays - lots of fly balls in the spacious Polo Grounds followed by Candlestick (with the wind knocking batted balls that otherwise would have been HRs). Which leads us to the following: Yes, Mays would have outhomered Aaron had Mays played in Atlanta and Aaron in SF. Sorry about getting off-track, Bob.

In the run up to the All Star game, name the players who have played in more all star games than the number of seasons they played. . . .
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.

Willie Mays - and probably a few others from the early '60s when there were 2 All-Star games per season for a couple years.

There were a number of years in the early 60’s when multiple all-star games were held. Therefore, I’ll guess Mays, Aaron, Mantle and Clemente.

Great guesses and yes, there were two all star games in the early sixties and maybe late 50's
Heard the discussion on sports talk, and they thought only Aaron, with Mays being equal years and appearances, but according to Claude:
Hank Aaron — 25 All-Star selections in 23 seasons (1954–76, no missed years; the extra games came purely from the 1959–62 doubleheader era).
Willie Mays — 24 selections in 22 seasons played (missed 1953 for military service).
Stan Musial — 24 selections in 22 seasons played (missed 1945 for military service).
Mickey Mantle — 20 selections in 18 seasons (1951–68, no missed years).
An add on from the same sports talk conversation, who hit the first home run in an All Star game?

You got me beat, because I was thinking the MLB Home Run Derby, which only goes back to 1985.

I was just showing off lol. However as to 1985 my guess is the 3B who once played for the Giants who I saw play probably late 60s PG for Pasadena CC coached by Jerry Tarkanian
