All-Star Team Selections

The Negro League Baseball All-Star Game was called the East-West Game. Players were not divided by league, but by geographical location; Stars players played for the East. Players were voted to the teams by the fans with votes tallied by the Chicago Defender and the Pittsburgh Courier newspapers.

These Philadelphia Stars appeared in the All-Star game for the East team. Only players from the Pittsburgh Crawfords and Washington Elite Giants played for the East in the 1936 game. Two games were played in 1939, 1942, and 1946-1948.
