1958 All-MLB Team

 By JT 

Once again The Sporting News (TSN) and the Associated Press (AP) picked All-MLB teams and United Press International (UPI) chose All-AL and All-NL teams. 

The AP and TSN chose Bob Turley and Warren Spahn but TSN also chose (as usual) a third pitcher. This year it was Bob Friend. 

Both organizations chose Del Crandall as catcher, Stan Musial as the first baseman, Nellie Fox at second base, Frank Thomas at third, and Ernie Banks as the shortstop. 

In the outfield, TSN picked Willie Mays,  Hank Aaron, and  Ted Williams, while the AP picked Mickey Mantle over Teddy Ballgame.

The AP and TSN also published Second-teams. Orlando Cepeda, Bill Mazeroski, Luis Aparicio, and Frank Malzone were the infield on both as was Sherman Loller at catcher.

The pitchers on TSN's second-team were Billy Pierce, Whitey Ford, and Lew Burdette, and the AP voters named Ford and Frend the left- and right-handed pitchers. 

The AP backup outfield was composed of Williams, Jackie Jensen, and Richie Ashburn, and Mantle, Bob Cerv, and Jenson were the AP backups.

One name on the All-League teams that didn't make the All-MLB First- or Second-teams was Vic Power

And the official All-Stars—
