For 1933 and 1934 games, the All-Star teams were selected by the managers and the fans. From 1935 through 1946, managers selected the entire team for each league. However, from 1947 - 1957, fans selected the team's starters and the manager chose the pitchers and the remaining players. Managers, players, and coaches made the All-Star Team selections from 1958 through 1969. In 1970, it was up to the fans for the selection of the starters for each team and remains till now.
