So ... they've got Ripken at 3B.
Hey, didn't he actually play in the game at SS?
Why ... yes he did!

Probably because he was selected as the starting 3B and only played shortstop because A-Rod volunteered to switch positions.
Before the start of the first inning, Alex Rodriguez voluntarily elected to switch to third base to allow Cal Ripken Jr. to play at the shortstop position one final time at the All-Star Game, which the crowd gave a standing ovation.[1] The move allowed Ripken to set the record for most MLB All-Star appearances at shortstop (15).

Yes, that's all in the video (and the wikipedia entry!)
Point is, SS is where he played in the game and it'd have been nice for SDS to recognize that on his All-Star GAME card.
