I did consider Musial but based on the qualifications, I couldn't put him in the nomination. In a way, I chose best of All-Time out of the All-Star MVPs. It wasn't awarded before '62, so thats why some of the greatest of all-time aren't included. I do agree with you thou, season MVP should have nothing to do, and it doesn't in any of my selections, if it did Gary Carter would of never been a consideration haha.

That's a contradiction of terms. ALL-Time means ALL TIME, not Recently, not Lately, not Just in your life time! My vote for the REAL ALL-Star MVP(s) (of all time) would be...you picked 5 so I'll pick five... Babe Ruth Stan Musial Mickey Mantle Ted Williams Willie Mays (the only player we agree on) I wouldn't even vote for a player who has been "selected" by the current system. It's not really an "ALL-Star" game, it's a popularity contest, at best. (you have your criteria, I have mine). Mine is based on ALL TIME and having been selected by other players and managers...they know who the real ALL Stars are. And I really don't see any reason to choose an ALL Star MVP based on a SEASON MVP. If I'm selecting an ALL STAR MVP then I'm going to base it on the players performance in All Star Games. (Roger Clemens is great during the season but sucks in an All Star Game). If I base my selection according to your qualifications then I can't possibly pick an ALL-TIME MVP. I have to eliminate Ted Williams, Micky Mantle, Hank Aaron, Joe Dimaggio, Willie McCovey, Eddie Mathews, Yogi Berra, etc. I just can't do it. These are all players in my lifetime and I can tell you this....my All Stars can beat up your All-Stars every time and, all things being equal, would collect a lot more MVP awards.

Rose started 5 (yea...that's 5) different positions (2B, LF, RF, 3B, 1B) in the midsummer classic and created the most famous All-Star moment all time (in any sport) when he ran over catcher Ray Fosse to win the 1970 All-Star game in the 12th inning.
