The first Midsummer Classic of the 1990's almost didn't start or finish, thanks to Mother Nature. The game was periodically stopped for a combined eighty-five minutes of assorted rain delays including a sixty-eight minute monsoon during the scoreless seventh inning. This prevented either side from establishing a rhythm and it was exceptionally hard on the pitchers.
Finally, the American League was able to round the bases thanks to Julio Franco's two-run double off Rob Dibble. Bret Saberhagen, the third of six American League pitchers, was the winner and fulfilled his boyhood dream of playing at Wrigley Field, only a few miles from his birthplace. Dennis Eckersley got the save. Bob Welch of Oakland, Dave Stieb of Toronto, Saberhagen, Bobby Thigpen of the Chicago White Sox, Chuck Finley of California and Eckersley combined to hold the National League to two hits which were both only singles.
The National League's hit total during this contest is the lowest in All-Star history. It was also the first time the American League had started of a new decade with a win since the dawning of the 1940's.
