For reasons I will never grasp, I inspired a post from Brendan (The View From The Third Floor), where he created a roster of some of the greatest names to ever appear on junk wax. It's a list filled with Hall of Famers, would-be Hall of Famers, and John Franco.
That got me thinking about the lesser-known names in junk wax history, the solid day to day players who never got their flowers, just multiple copies of their cards in our doubles boxes.
I therefore present to you the Junk Wax No Stars, players from the era who remarkably never made an All-Star team:
Catcher - Rick Dempsey
First Base - Eric Karros
Second Base - Bill Doran
Third Base - Jim Gantner
Shortstop - John Valentin
Left Field - Tony Phillips
Center Field - Garry Maddox
Right Field - Tim Salmon
Designated Hitter - Kirk Gibson
Starting Rotation:
Tom Candiotti
Danny Darwin
John Tudor
Charlie Leibrandt
John Denny
Bullpen:
Gene Garber
Mike Timlin
Mark Eichhorn
Paul Assenmacher
Bench:
Chris Hoiles
Dwayne Murphy
Delino DeShields
Kevin McReynolds
Bernard Gilkey
Todd Ziele
Matt Stairs
Not a bad lineup. Better than this year's White Sox!
