Major League Baseball Centennial All-Time Teams

In 1969, Major League Baseball celebrated its centennial with a landmark event: the naming of its first official All-Time Team and an accompanying All-Time "Living" Team, both unveiled at a star-studded banquet on July 21, the night before that year's All-Star Game. For the first time, fans played a central role in the selection process, voting for all-time franchise teams in each major league city, which served as nominees for the national team. Supplemented by ballots from The Sporting News and a panel of writers and broadcasters, finalists were chosen for each position, leading to Oscar-style award presentations at a gala attended by Hall of Famers, current stars, politicians, and celebrities.
At the same event, Babe Ruth was crowned the greatest player of all time, while Joe DiMaggio was honored as the greatest "living" player.
