The 1957 All-MLB Team

The Sporting News (TSN) chose Billy Pierce, Jim Bunning and Warren Spahn as their pitchers while the Associated Press (AP) picked Spahn and Lew Burdette as their lefty and right pitchers. 

Additionally TSN choose Willie Mays in the outfield and the AP picked Hank Aaron. All the other First-team picks were the same.

On the second-team the switch between Aaron and Mays is obvious but also the Second-team TSN pitchers were Dick Donavan, Bob Huhl,  Bob Turley and the AP had Billy Pierce as the lefty and Bunning as the righty.

And for completeness here at the 1957 All-Star game starters and rosters—
