### Examples

    data(AllstarFull)

    # find number of appearances by players in the All Star games
    player_appearances <- with(AllstarFull, rev(sort(table(playerID))))

    # How many All-Star players, in total?
    length(player_appearances)

    # density plot of the whole distribution
    plot(density(player_appearances), main="Player appearances in All Star Games")
    rug(jitter(player_appearances))

    # who has played in more than 10 ASGs?
    player_appearances[player_appearances > 10]
    hist(player_appearances[player_appearances > 10])

    # Hank Aaron's All-Star record:
    subset(AllstarFull, playerID == "aaronha01")

    # Years that Stan Musial played in the ASG:
    with(AllstarFull, yearID[playerID == "musiast01"])

    # Starting positions he played (NA means did not start)
    with(AllstarFull, startingPos[playerID == "musiast01"])

    # All-Star rosters from the 1966 ASG
    subset(AllstarFull, gameID == "NLS196607120")

    # All-Stars from the Washington Nationals
    subset(AllstarFull, teamID == "WAS")

    # Teams with the fewest All-Stars
    rare <- names(which(table(AllstarFull$teamID) < 10))

    # Records associated with the 'rare' teams:
    # (There are a few teamID typos: can you spot them?)
    subset(AllstarFull, teamID %in% rare)
