What if an All-Star is traded?

External Since: Jul 08, 2003 Posts: 13

Suppose a player is named to the All-Star game.

Before the All-Star game, the player is traded. How is that handled,
especially if the player is traded to a team in the other league?

The player is tarred and feathered and ridden out of town
on a rail.

This replaces the old rule, where the player was allowed to play
for his new league, but was required to wear his glove on
the wrong hand, face away from the batter when on defense,
and away from the pitcher when at the bat.
