On July 6, 1983, the American League and National League stage the 50th anniversary of the All-Star Game. The American League sets an All-Star record for runs by pounding the National League, 13-3, as Fred Lynn clubs the first grand slam in All-Star history during a record seven-run third inning en route to the American League setting a record for runs scored by one team in a game in their 13-3 victory at Chicago’s Comiskey Park, the site of the first All-Star Game in 1933.
The game marks the first win for the AL since 1971. It is Lynn’s 4th All-Star homer, tying him with Ted Williams for the American League record.
