Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
Here is an updated list of All-Star appearances broken down by birthplace. It includes Javier Vazquez, Paul LoDuca, and Jake Westbrook, who were added to the All-Star game, and Tippy Martinez and Dave Chalk, whose point of origin has been found (the good ol' US of A in both cases). Note that Vazquez gives Puerto Rico sole possession of second place, which it had shared with the Dominican Republic after the original All-Star rosters were announced:

It's good thing that Joe Torre doesn't suffer from xenophobia. He doesn't care where his All-Stars come from as long as they play--or have played--for the Yankees, they're A-OK.
