1996 All Star Game - Recap

Once again, the All-Star Game returned to the City of Brotherly Love as the National League pounded their rivals and shut them out, but not before a unique record would be set.

Neither pitching staff allowed a single walk during the entire game! Despite the lack of walks, the American League had no problem giving up runs. Once again Mike Piazza was at his best, driving in two runs with a homer and double to win Most Valuable Player honors. He became the first player to homer in consecutive All-Star Games since Fred Lynn in 1979-80. Combined with his homer in his last at-bat in the 1995, he also became the first to homer in consecutive All-Star at-bats since Gary Carter in 1981.

The game would have had a lot more, if not for the absence of Ken Griffey, Jr., Tony Gwynn, Frank Thomas and Matt Williams due to injuries. The victory was the National League's third in a row and extended its series lead to 40-26-1.
