1966 All Star Game Maury Wills drives in Tim mcCarver

On July 12, 1966 St. Louis hosts a hot midsummer All-Star classic. Maury Wills‘ 10th-inning single scores Tim McCarver, as the National League wins, 2 – 1.

Giants hurler Gaylord Perry got the victory by tossing a scoreless ninth and tenth inning. The 105-degree weather, 113 degrees on the playing surface, results in nearly 150 people needing treatment for heat exhaustion.

Brooks Robinson’s stellar game (3 hits, eight chances) earns him the game MVP award. Asked about the new ballpark, Casey Stengel remarks, “it holds the heat well.” On-field temperature is 113 degrees.

The American League defeats the National League, 9 – 3, in the 1993 All-Star Game. Kirby Puckett, Roberto Alomar, and Gary Sheffield hit home runs, while the win goes to Jack McDowell. Craig Biggio is at 2B for the NL: last year, he was on the team as a catcher, the first player ever to make it at those two positions. A highlight of the game is Randy Johnson firing a 95-MPH fastball over John Kruk’s head. Kruk bails out on the next two pitches, saying afterwards: “he’s going to kill somebody.”
