Cincinnati voters stuffed the ballot boxes and elected nearly their entire team (minus first baseman
George Crowe & the batboy) onto the National League's starting roster. This upset Commissioner Ford Frick
greatly and he responded by removing Gus Bell and Wally Post from the starting nine. He also transferred
the responsibility for All-Star voting to the players, managers and coaches the next year.
