Most fans know that President John F. Kennedy attended this game, but did you know it was also attended by Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson?

This was the first Midsummer Classic played in D.C. Stadium and the third played in Washington, D.C. (the previous two were played in Griffith Stadium).

Who was the most valuable player? The pitching staff? Willie Mays who made an amazing catch to end the game? Maury Wills who entered during the 6th inning, but scored two of the three National League runs due to his baserunning ability? Share your opinion on our message boards.
