Fred Lynn hits the first grandslam in All Star Game on its 50th anniversary

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.
