How injury plagued was the American League? Joe DiMaggio had a badly swollen left knee, George Kell had a sprained ankle, Hal Newhouser had bursitis in his left shoulder and Ted Williams had torn rib cartilage.

During the fourth inning Ken Keltner and George McQuinn hit a single. Birdie Tebbetts followed with a walk loading the bases. Pitcher Vic Raschi was next up at-bat and manager Bucky Harris let him hit � would you have done the same thing? Share your thoughts about managers and their decisions on our baseball message board.

This particular victory gave the junior circuit their eleventh win over the course of fifteen Midsummer Classics.
