That photo of a 1910 all-star team was assembled by Jimmy McAleer at Connie Mack's request to play the A's before the world series that year, since the AL ended their season a week earlier than the NL and Mack was worried that the delay would hurt his team in the series. They played five games, the all-star team winning the first four, and Mack credited the exhibition series with keeping his team sharp enough to easily take the Cubs in the world series.

Fantastic Info, and Thank You
