Shea leads the way with 10 All-Stars

Shea is having a nice season, but perhaps he should be having a better one. With an incredible 10 - yes, that's right, 10 - All-Stars on his 25-man roster, one might think he'd be better than a game above .500 and a half-game out of a playoff spot.

Still, 10 All-Stars is quite impressive, and it is easily the most of any team in the league. Chris and Hal are the next closest with seven each. Dave had the fewest, with just one. No one else had fewer than four.
