For twenty years, from 1954 until his retirement in 1973, Willie Mays was named to the All-Star team each season. However, in the four years from 1959 to 1962, two All-Star games were played each season; as a result, Willie Mays played in a total of 24 All-Star games, a record he shares with Hank Aaron and Stan Musial. He was in the starting line-up for 18 of those games, always playing center field.
