The Hall of Fame players with All-Star game hits against the greatest number of Hall of Fame pitchers: (There are other players with hits against 1, 2, or perhaps even 3 different pitchers, but I spent a fair amount of time on this, and it’s complete at the upper end.) 1 Barry Bonds (Halladay) 1 Rickey Henderson (Carlton) 1 Pete Rose (Hunter) 2 Ernie Banks (Wynn, Bunning) 2 Joe Dimaggio (Dean, Spahn) 2 Charlie Gehringer (Hubbell, Dean) 2 Cal Ripken, Jr (Ryan, Glavine) 2 Frank Robinson (Wynn, Wilhelm) 2 Alex Rodriguez (Maddux, Glavine) 2 Mike Schmidt (Ryan, Fingers) 2 Ted Williams (Roberts, Spahn) 2 Dave Winfield (Gossage, Ryan) 3 Hank Aaron (Ford, Wilhelm, Blyleven) 3 Nellie Fox (Roberts, Spahn, Drysdale) 3 Steve Garvey (Perry, Palmer, Gossage) 3 Derek Jeter (Johnson, Clemens, Halladay) 3 Mickey Mantle (Spahn, Roberts, Drysdale) 3 Stan Musial (Newhouser, Lemon, Ford) 4 Roberto Clemente (Ford, Wilhelm, Bunning, Kaat) 4 Willie Mays (Ford, Wynn, Wilhelm, Kaat) 4 Carl Yastrzemski (Jenkins, Gibson, Seaver, Perry) 5 [none] 6 [none] 7 Brooks Robinson (Koufax, Drysdale, Bunning, Marichal, Perry, Jenkins, Gibson) If Robinson hadn’t grounded out against Spahn, he’d have lapped the field. “Brooks Robinson: The Greatest Defensive Baseball Player in Baseball History, at Any Position (A Seven-Part Serial)”

ESPN SportsCentury Documentary on Stan "The Man" Musial - the legendary hitter from "way out west" in St. Louis - perennially underrated due to his distal locale, but beloved by connoisseurs of the game as one of the all-time greats. Stan Musial: superstar, role model. In case anyone notices the discrepancy between the duration of Musial's Career (22 years) and that he's a 24-time All-Star, it's because from 1959-1962, MLB played two All-Star Games a year. "Stan Musial is geographically challenged - had he played his career in New York, we would have called him Lou Gehrig." -- John Thorn
