The streak of four consecutive senior circuit wins was in serious jeopardy by the sixth inning with the score 5-0. Using singles and patience at the plate, the National League rallied to score five and tie the game by the eighth inning.

Did you know that when Stan Musial hit his game winning home run he broke the tie for most All-Star home runs held by Ralph Kiner & Ted Williams?

Arch Ward, sports editor for the Chicago Tribune and founder of the All-Star Game, was laid to rest the same day this game was played.
