All Star Game
As we watch the All-Star Game tonight, keep in mind that exactly 45 years ago today, they were also playing an all-star game.
That one was played at Metropolitan Stadium. The starting first baseman was Ernie Banks. He batted sixth and went 2 for 4.
The lead off man for the National League was Willie Mays. Hank Aaron batted second. Willie Stargell was third. Dick Allen was the cleanup hitter--and third baseman. He was replaced later in the game by a young third baseman named Ron Santo.
All Santo did in the game was knock in the game winning run.
