Just about every great player in modern history has played in at least one All-Star Game, as have most of the really good players and a fair number of just-OK players. All-Star rosters are huge, after all, and the rules are designed to select a wide range of players, including the lone "team representative" of some hapless organization. Over 1,600 different players have appeared in an All-Star Game since 1933, so the net has been cast pretty wide.
