All-Star Teams #6 (2009-2023) Now Available!
Diamond Mind's All Star Game History collection is expanding with the introduction of a sixth set, covering the years 2009-2023. This newest addition complements the previously released sets, which span from the inaugural All-Star Game in 1933 through to 2008. Each set encompasses a 15-year period: 1933-48, 1949-63, 1964-78, 1979-93, 1994-2008, and now 2009-2023.
Roster sizes have evolved over the years, reflecting the changes in the game. Reserve players, those initially selected but later replaced due to injuries or other reasons, are included. All teams are provided with a complete manager profile including a strict, three-man pitching rotation, ensuring the actual starter takes the number one spot.
The designated hitter (DH) rule has also changed over time. Initially absent, the DH was introduced in 1989 for games in American League stadiums and, since 2010, has been used by both teams regardless of the game's location. For seasons without the DH, the first two lineups in the Manager Profile (vs LHP and vs RHP) are identical, reflecting the actual game's lineup. When the DH is used, lineups are computer-generated, and the DH lineups vs LHP (DH) and vs RHP (DH) mirror the starting lineup from that year's game.
With the introduction of the 2009-2023 set, enthusiasts can now relive the rich history of the All-Star Game, from its early years to the modern era, through meticulously crafted team and player sets.

1919 Deluxe Past Season with transactions and lineups available now!
In 1919, the Cincinnati Reds clinched their first National League pennant, propelled by the dominant pitching of Dutch Ruether and Hod Eller. Over in the American League, the star-studded Chicago White Sox, led by the exceptional hitting of "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and the masterful pitching of Eddie Cicotte, stormed to the pennant. The season's climax came with a dramatic and contentious World Series, forever tainted by the Black Sox Scandal. Eight White Sox players, including Jackson and Cicotte, were later accused of conspiring with gamblers to throw the Series, leading to a stunning and scandalous defeat by the Reds. This infamous event cast a dark cloud over baseball, forever changing the sport's history.
