McGriff makes the list for hitting fourth in 1992, the last time the Padres hosted the game. This is the only other time that a San Diego player started in the fourth slot.

Chicago Cubs ASG Starting First Basemen

Phil Cavarretta	1944
Ernie Banks	1965
Derrek Lee	2005
Anthony Rizzo	2016

This is just the fourth start by a Cubs first baseman. Only two of the original 16 franchises have had fewer All-Star starts at first base. The Pirates have only two (Elbie Fletcher 1943, Dale Long 1956) and the Phillies have just three (Pete Rose 1981-82, John Kruk 1993). The Indians also have only four starts (Al Rosen 1954, Vic Wertz 1957, Jim Thome 1998-99).

Miami Marlins ASG Starting Center Fielders

Marcell Ozuna

2016

Ozuna goes in for the injured Dexter Fowler and makes the the sixth All-Star start by a Marlin. Gary Sheffield was at third base in 1993, Hanley Ramirez was at shortstop in 2008, 2009 and 2010, and Giancarlo Stanton was the DH in 2014. The Padres, Brewers and Rays are now the only three teams that have never had an All-Star starter in center field.

Colorado Rockies ASG Starting Left Fielders 

Carlos Gonzalez	2013
Carlos Gonzalez	2016

Don Kessinger	1970
Don Kessinger	1972
Addison Russell	2016

At 22, Russell is the youngest starting shortstop since 21-year-old Alex Rodriguez in 1997. He is also the youngest Cub to start for the National League, passing 24-year-olds Augie Galan (1936), Ernie Banks (1955), Ryne Sandberg (1984) and Kris Bryant (2016). 

With Bryant, Russell, Zobrist and Rizzo, this will be the second time that an All-Star starting infield has four players from the same team. The 1963 Cardinals had 1B Bill White, 2B Julian Javier, SS Dick Groat and 3B Ken Boyer in the starting lineup.

The only other time the Cubs had four players in the starting lineup was in 1936, with CF Augie Galan, 2B Billy Herman, RF Frank Demaree and C Gabby Hartnett.

This is the ninth All-Star Game with multiple teams putting four or more players in the starting lineup, but only the third since expansion in 1961. The 1980 contest had four Dodgers (Davey Lopes, Reggie Smith, Steve Garvey, Bill Russell) and four Yankees (Willie Randolph, Reggie Jackson, Graig Nettles, Bucky Dent). Along with the aforementioned Red Sox quartet in 2005, the Cardinals had Albert Pujols, Jim Edmonds, David Eckstein and Chris Carpenter.

Vida Blue	1978
Rick Reuschel	1989
Jason Schmidt	2003
Tim Lincecum	2009
Matt Cain	2012
Johnny Cueto	2016

Cueto forms an all-Giants battery with Buster Posey. This is the 35th same-team starting battery, the first since Posey caught Matt Cain in 2012. Cueto is the first pitcher to start the All-Star Game in his first year with a new team since Kenny Rogers did it in 2006 as a Tiger.

This is the second All-Star Game with a Giants/White Sox pitching matchup. Jason Schmidt and Esteban Loaiza earned the starts in 2003.
