Starting Pitchers - DIzzy and Steve Trout or Mel and Todd Stottlemyre
Relief Pitchers - Bryan and Hunter Harvey (Hunter is active) or Paul and Cal Quantril
Catcher - Randy and Todd Hundley or Fred and Jason Kendall
1st Base - Cecil and Prince Fielder
2nd Base - Sandy and Roberto Alomar
3rd Base - Buddy and David Bell or Charlie and Ke'Bryan Hayes (Ke'Bryan is active)
SS - There were no father son shortstop combos, aside from Fernando Tatis SR. and his 5 career games to go with JR's. 242 games. I cheated and we will go with this.
SS - Maury and Bump Wills - Bump never played SS, but since he was a career 2nd baseman, surely he could have at least been adequate at shortstop
OF - Bobby and Barry Bonds or Ken and Ken Griffey or Felipe and Moises Alou or Hal and Brian Mcrae or Jose and Jose Cruz.

The thread title implies we are talking about multiple generation all-stars.
David Bell was never an all-star, but his grandfather, Gus, was - although he was an outfielder.
The other three generation MLB family, the Boones, were ALL all-stars albeit at different positions! Now, THAT's hard to beat.
