1995 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 1995 All-Star Game courtesy of Retrosheet.

"My friends back in Florida told me to swing for the fences. I wasn't thinking about it at the time, but it worked out that way." - 1995 All-Star Most Valuable Player Jeff Conine
