1952 All Star Game - Recap

For the first time in the history of the All-Star game, an exhibition was called short due to mother nature. Although this outing only lasted five innings (due to rain), it did mark the third consecutive "win" by the new and improved National League.

With the American League leading 2-1 and Bob Lemon pitching, the National League regained its momentum and came back in the fourth. First, a pitch hit Stan Musial. Then Hank Sauer drove Lemon's first pitch onto the left-field roof. Once again, pitching stood out as Bobby Shantz put on a stunning display in the fifth, striking out Whitey Lockman, Jackie Robinson and Stan Musial. Unfortunately, the game was called before he could try to tie Carl Hubbell's record of five in a row. The American League felt slighted and many believed that they would have made a comeback if not for the premature ending. The National League however, did not debate the call.
