From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An
All-American team is an
honorary sports team composed of the best
amateur players of a specific season for each team position—who in turn are given the honorific "All-America" and typically referred to as "All-American
athletes ", or simply "All-Americans". Although the honorees generally do not compete together as a unit, the term is used in
U.S.
team sports to refer to players who are selected by members of the national
media .
Walter Camp selected the
first All-America team in the early days of
American football in 1889.

The
NCAA recognizes three different All-America selectors for the 1999
college baseball season: the
American Baseball Coaches Association (since 1947),
Baseball America (since 1981), and
Collegiate Baseball (since 1991).
