I don't think so. There was a time when the MLB was obsessed with 1 all star per team. Absolutely wild that saberhagen and gubicza never pitched for the same all star team

They were rarely good at the same time. But yeah... Kind of strange that the 70's Royals never did it either. Busby, Splitt, Leonard, Gura, etc... For Appier to only have one ASG appearance as a Royal is a ****ing crime. Colossally underrated and overlooked for years.

There's going to be a huge void of potential Hall of Fame starters when three of those four regulars retire in the near future.

Willi Castro in the All-Star Game is why sometimes I cringe watching this.
Freaking David Fry got two at-bats. Nobody wants to see David Fry. |

But he pitched in a dipshit era when wins were all that mattered and playing for a big name team, just at the time when the Royals truly began their cold/irrelevant era. Royals offense was horrible. The 1994 strike and shortened 1995, along with Bob Boone's jagoff guidance didn't help him either. Also had an odd personality, just kinda strange and aloof without a lot of charisma. He got boned out of what should have been several allstar appearances, and especially boned out of the Cy Young in 1993, and hindsight would tell you there isn't much debate about that. |

You're right, the Royals' offense didn't do him any favors. He had the league's fifth best ERA in 1996, but he went 9-13. Through 1998, Appier had 80 career losses and in 35 of them, the Royals scored one or no runs. |
