Frank Thomas appeared in only 5 All Star games over his 19 year career. Winning the AL MVP twice he should have been an All Star at least 5-6 more times when you go back and look at stats/seasons not selected.

He doesn't have the fewest appearances as a HOF'er though. Couple of surprises here....though I think The Big Hurt was the most slighted...

2- Bert Blyleven
3- Fergie Jenkins, Robin Yount
4- Don Sutton
5- Richie Ashburn, Phil Niekro, Gaylord Perry, Phil Rizzuto, Hoyt Wilhelm

Random stats but just something I came across today. Can't wait for Reds baseball next Friday!
