So that got me wondering just how some of the great players did in their last AS game. I looked at the list of players on the roster the most years and stopped at the 12 time all stars - for no reason other than I got tired of typing. Very few did well at all of 38 players only 5 had even an ok game. And there was a load of 0 for 1 as a pinch hitter.
A few players had their last AS game while they were still doing pretty well and well before retirement. Aaron 0 for 1 Mays 0 for 1 struck out Musial 0 for 1 Ripken 1 for 2 - HR Carew 0 for 2 1 SO Yastrzemski 0 for 1 struck out T. Williams 0 for 1 Rose 0 for 1 Mantle 0 for 1 struck out Berra 0 for 1 Kaline 0 for 1 B.Robinson 0 for 3 Gwynn did not play O. Smith 0 for 1 3 assists - had to include that, as he was more a fielder than a hitter Spahn did not play ----1n 1963 a season where he was 23-7 102 SO 2.60 ERA ! Bench 0 for 1 B.Bonds 0 for 2 R Jackson 0 for 2 1 SO Jeter 2 for 2 1 run A.Rodriguez most recent 2011 did not play I. Rodriguez 1 for 2 last AS 4 years before retirement Brett 0 for 1 last AS 5 years before retirement DiMaggio did not play K.Griffey jr 1 for 2 2 RBI 1 SO in 3 PA M Rivera 1 inning allowed nothing. Clemente did not play N. Fox 1 for 3 1 strikeout F. Robinson 0 for 1 R. Alomar 0 for 2 last AS 3 years before retirement Boggs 0 for 3 Larkin 0 for 1 McGwire did not play Ott 0 for 1 Piazza 0 for 2 1 strikeout M.Ramirez 0 for 2 1 strikeout (Last AS 4 years before retirement) Schmidt didn't play - retired and refused the spot but is still listed 1987 1 for 2 caught stealing Seaver 1 inning, 3 hits, 1 error 1 hr 1so 1 run (last AS 5 years before retirement) Winfield 1 for 3 run scored (Last AS 6years before retirement) Steve B |
