The 1954 All-Star Game featured some of the most exciting and evenly paced baseball to date as both divisions went at each other in nine-inning fight to the finish.
The National League was still riding a four game winning streak and the American League was determined to end it. This game also rewrote the books as it tied or set records for home runs by both teams (six), homers by one team (four, American League), runs by both teams (twenty), hits by both teams (thirty-one) and hits by one team (seventeen, American League).
In the eighth inning, the National League was leading 9-8 and on they're way to another victory. Not to be outdone again, the American League scored three runs. Then, Larry Doby sent the Cleveland crowd into a hometown frenzy with a pinch-hit, game-tying home run with one out. Yankees Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra both followed with base hits. The National League was back on its heels as Gene Conley walked Al Rosen, loading the bases. One out later, the stage was set and Nelson Fox knocked one into short center scoring the final and winning runs. Closer Virgil Trucks, who was pitching in place of Dean Stone, sealed the victory. After walking Duke Snider, he forced a ground out by Stan Musial and retired the last two batters. Finally, the American League had won after four years of defeat.
