Bryce Harper was NL MVP in 2021 but not an All Star.

Bryce Harper is correct.

The list of nine consists of some pretty impressive players I wouldn't have thought weren't all stars that season, including:

Jimmy Rollins
Chipper Jones
Robin Yount

Random fact about Kirk Gibson--he is in the college football HOF as a wide receiver at Michigan State. He may be the only MLB MVP winner to be in the college football HOF.

I believe he only played one year of baseball in college but managed to hit .390 with 16 HRs in 48 games.

Dick Groat is in the college basketball HOF.
