1964 All-Star Game Play by Play

Retrosheet is a not-for-profit organization that was founded in 1989 for the purpose of computerizing play-by-play accounts of as many pre-1984 major league games as possible. Their research is without parallel, beyond exceptional, and in a league by itself. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present this play-by-play account of the 1964 All-Star Game courtesy of Retrosheet.

"This decision (the MVP) required a second ballot, since the vote had been taken earlier in the ninth inning in anticipation of an American League win, and (Brooks) Robinson had been the initial pick to get the trophy." - The Midsummer Classic (2002)
