All-star Game Highlights Baseball World
For the 7th year in a row the
National League prevailed
over the American League to
win the 49th All-Star Classic 7
to 3. The National League has
dominated this mid-season
contest 14 out of the last 15
times and, despite an early
lead by the American League,
Tuesday's game in San Diego
was no different.
The National League came
into the game confident of
winning and National League
manager Tommy Lasorda
said that the game was "in the
bag." Lasorda could count on
such perennial all-Stars as
Steve Garvey, Joe Morgan,
Pete Rose, and Tom Seaver,
The American League team
had standouts Ron Guidry,
Jim Rice and Rod Carew. But
the American League squad
was also lacking Reggie
Jackson, Thurman Nunson,
and Rick Burleson, all of
whom withdrew prior to the
game because of minor
ailments. American League
manager Billy Martin was
confident and said before the
game that he had never seen
an American League team
that wanted to win so much.
Starting pitcher for the
American League was ace Jim
Palmer with a record of 10-7
and an ERA of 2.29. His
National League ccunterpart
was Vida Blue who had
pitched for the American
League in 1861 and 197,,.
In the first inning Rod
Carew tripled off Blue and was
followed by George Brett's
double making the score 1 to
After Brett advanced to third
on a groundout by Jim Rice,
Carlton Fisk hit a sacrifice fly
to make the score 2 to 9. For the
next two innings Palmer kept
the National League shackled
and in the third inning, Carew
tripled again. Brett then hit a
sacrifice fly to make it 3 to 0.
By the third inning,
however, Palmer was tiring,
and the National League came
charging back to tie the score.
Larry Bowa opened with a
single and, after Palmer
struck out Reggie Smith, Bowa
stole second. Pete Rose
grounded out but Palmer lost
all control and walked
Morgan, Foster, and Luzinski.
Manager Billy Martin refused
to send Palmer to the showers
and Steve Garvey hit a single
to tie the game 3 to 3. Martin
finally replaced Palmer with
Mattt Keough who got Rick
Monday out on a fly ball.
The next four innings were
played with brilliance by both
teams. Larry Sorenson
pitched three scoreless
innings for the American
League and American League
right fielder Darrel Evans
made two shoestring catches
as neither team could gain an
edge.
In the eighth inning
manager Billy Martin made
another questionable move,
calling on Yankee pitcher Rich
Gossage with a record of 3-8, to
start the inning. Steve GArvey
hit a triple and scored after
Gossage's wild pitch to Dave
Concepcion. Things only^ot
worse* for the American
League as Bob Boone and
Davey Lopes hit singles to
bring the score to 7 to 3.
Gossage later said that he
tried to overpitch and the ball
just tailed away from him a
few times. Bruce Sutter and
Phill Niekro later came on to
shut down the American
League in the ninth and the
contest was over.
The game was probably one
of the best-played All Star
games, despite the eighth
inning. A crowd of 51.549 saw
Rod Carew hit an All Star
game record for a single player
of two triples. Garvey's triple
in the eighth inning set a
record for most triples in one
All Star game. After the game,
Carlton Fisk of Boston said
that it was the best All Star
gamle he had ever played in
and Steve Garvey, the M.V.P.,
said that the teams were a lot
more evenly matched this year
than ever before.
