August 11th, 2012....McKeesport, PA

The managers of the Daily News League teams have each voted and the 2012 league's all-star team, presented by Army's Transmissions, has been selected. Highlighting this year's group is sole unanimous selection Tim Donnelly of Harvey Wilner's Tavern. This marks the fifth time the slugging Donnelly has been named to the team in the seven years the league has been honoring its top players.

Joining Donnelly on this year's all-star team is long time veteran Jim Onder of Bower. Like Donnelly, this marks Onder's fifth such selection. Power hitting Jim Pasquine of Quinn Construction continued his league best active streak of being named to the team for the fourth consecutive year. Joe Aul of Clancy's Pub, who actually made and sold some of the wooden bats used in the league this year, is making his third consecutive trip to the team. Also Dan Campbell and Tom Pasinski are repeating as all-stars this year after both making it in 2011.

Overall, there were players selected from six of the eight teams in the league with Clancy's Pub leading the way with four. Bowser, Harvey Wilner's, and Quinn, the other three teams left in the playoff semi finals along with Clancy's, had three players selected each.
