1962 (1) All Star Game - Recap
Once again, America's All-Stars traveled to the nation's capital to celebrate the best-of-the-best from America's favorite pastime. President Kennedy was the second president to attend the event and threw out the first pitch.
However, the spotlight on this game belonged to Maury Wills. Entering the lineup in the sixth to pinch-run for Stan Musial, he ran the game into the era of the stolen base by breaking Ty Cobb's forty-seve year-old record of ninety-six. Wills stole second then scored the first run of the game off a Dick Groat single. In the eighth inning, Wills reached base by a single. He rounded second on a short single hit by Jim Davenport to left field, and when the throw came to the cutoff man, Wills took third with blazing speed and scored on a foul to right field moments later. This performance earned him the first All-Star Most Valuable Player Award.
Both teams moved on to Wrigley Field for Game 2. The day belonged to the American League as they finally broke out of a five game slump with nine runs (equaling their total for the previous five games) and ten hits. Even better, their victory kept the National League from tying the All-Star series at 16-16. Little did they know, however, that nearly a decade would pass before they would win again.
