The 1955 All-MLB Team

 By JT 

Al Kaline 

The United Press (UP) chose All-AL and NL squads and the Associated Press (AP) and The Sporting (TSN) picked from both leagues once again.

TSN picked Al Kaline in the outfield while the AP chose Duke Snider as the third outfielder behind Ted Williams and Willie Mays

The other difference is TSN picked a third pitcher—Don Newcombe.


In the voting, the AP second-team consists of 
C—Yogi Berra
1B—Gil Hodges
2B—Red Schoendienst
OF—Al Kaline, Mickey Mantle, Stan Musial
RHP—Don Newcombe

In the UP AL and NL teams, names like Mickey Mantle and Stan Musial emerge and others.  

The UP had plenty of honorable mentions as well—



And for the usual stuff, the opening lineups or the MLB All-Star game—
