1975 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 1975 All-Star Game courtesy of Retrosheet.

"The word embarrassement was heard frequently, and the AL teams were encouraged to have their best pitchers rested and ready for All-Star duty, though no team was expected to compromise its regular season pitching rotations to achieve that goal." - The Midsummer Classic (2002)
