"I don't mind telling you that this is a pretty big kick to me. I'm a guy who played fourteen years in the minors and never made it to the majors. Plenty of times I didn't even know what I'd be doing for a living, much less managing a Major League All-Star team." - American League Manager Jim Frey

The 1981 Midsummer Classic was actually the second All-Star Game played during the month of August. The first took place on August 3, 1959 during the 1959 All-Star Game.

Did you know that Gary Carter was the fifth All-Star to hit two home runs during one Midsummer Classic. Those who came before him were: Arky Vaughan (1941 All-Star Game), Ted Williams (1946 All-Star Game), Al Rosen (1954 All-Star Game) and Willie McCovey (1969 All-Star Game).

A record number of All-Star players appeared in the 1981 All-Star Game. So many in fact that its easier to list the four who did not get to enter the game: Britt Burns, Steve Carlton, Doug Corbett & Scott McGregor.
