Ban Johnson’s All-time AL Team

All Time Teams
 

 

Ban Johnson, the famous American League president in the early 1900s, picked perhaps the first all-time AL team in 1929. More than 70 years later, many of Johnson’s picks more than hold their own when compared to stars of the league from more contemporary times.
