Interestingly enough, Greg Olson (Braves Catcher) and Gregg Olson (Orioles Reliever) played in the 1990 All-Star game (Notice the spelling of Greg/Gregg). Sadly, Olson did not face Olson at the plate. Greg's only at bat was a strikeout against Chuck Finley.
Gregg Olson would go on to pitch for the Braves in 1994... the first of eight destination into the end of his career.
Marcus Giles also played in the All-Star games.

In 1990 Greggory "Uncle Charlie" Olson made of the Baltimore Orioles, made the MLB Allstar team. He set a rookie record with 27 saves and a 1.69 ERA, with 90 strikeouts in 85 innings.
********* OK--Eric Chavez was a Minor League All-Star in 1998.
