Perhaps it was just a blatant error by Topps that no one has seemed to question in the last 60 years?? Who knows, but he is not listed anywhere on either of the two 1961 All Star game rosters.

The person I have in mind was an actual All Star with a straight forward (but odd) reason for inclusion in the game from the year he is pictured.

ETA: Whoops!! Forgot to give you made props, Cliff, for putting him forward. I had no idea.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
