Simmed by SABR, hosted by Seamheads:

Cast Your Vote for the 1929 All Stars
And Make Your Voice Heard!

We Americans are a people steeped in tradition, respectful of those who have gone before us, but also mindful of the greatness in our midst. This is no less true of the great game of Baseball than of any other endeavor that has taken root in this great Country.

And one of the greatest traditions in this great Game is that of the All Star contest that bisects the season every July. Launched thirteen years ago and having provided us the pleasures of witnessing the exploits of the best ballplayers of our or of any time gathered on one field for a single game, the tradition continues on and travels back to St. Louis, where this year’s match will be hosted by the estimable Browns ballclub.

And consistent with our great American tradition of democratic participation, YOU, the Knowing Fan, will have conferred upon you the Honor of determining who among our current greats will be selected as starters for this game taking place at Sportsman’s Park on Tuesday, July 9.

So utilize your RIGHT to VOTE! Cast your ballot for the 1929 All Star Game starters TODAY!

Do not delay! Vote for the 1929 All-Star starters and pitchers today!

This is a great idea.

Yeah, it is. They've been doing this for a while now and will conclude with a Retro All-Star Game played the year before the first real ASG game was played.

This had me punching a ballot in a dark, concrete corridor (à la old Tiger Stadium) surrounded by gangsters in dark suits and fedoras talking gambling odds and the stock market.

Jimmie Foxx over Lou Gehrig in a great battle. Lefty Grove and Burleigh Grimes...the standout studs on each staff.
