$100 Million - All-Star Game Twist

Description: Pick any All-Star game in MLB history (1933-2023). Click HERE for historical All-Star Game rosters (also HERE). Using only players that appear on the All-Star Game roster (they didn't have to play in the All-Star game), build your 25-man team by "twisting" to any season of those players. No $300K exceptions, so it's up to you to find cheap versions of players to fill the end of your bench. You must use the stadium that was used in your selected All-Star game. You can use a mix of AL and NL players. Note there were two ASGs played from 1959-1962, and you cannot combine players from those games.
