1994 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 1994 All-Star Game courtesy of Retrosheet.

"Lee (Smith) is a low fastball pitcher. (Fred) McGriff is a low fastball hitter. It was like a collision out there." - Cal Ripken, Jr.
