THE MLB ALL-STAR GAME AND THE ANGELS The 2009 All-Star Game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis (Photo by MLB Photos via Getty Images Sport / Jessica Foster) • Major League Baseball and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will hold the 2010 All-Star Game at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on July 13, 2010. The 2010 All-Star Game will be the 81st Midsummer Classic. • It will mark the third time that the Angels have hosted the All-Star Game, having also welcomed the Midsummer Classic in 1967 and 1989. • The 1967 All-Star Game was played on July 11th, with the National League winning the 15-inning, 2-1 contest, the longest Midsummer Classic (in both innings and time) in history. All three of the runs scored in the game came via solo homers. Philadelphia’s Dick Allen hit a long ball off A.L. starting pitcher Dean Chance in the second inning. Baltimore’s Brooks Robinson tied it up in the sixth inning with a blast against Fergie Jenkins. The game would remain scoreless until the 15th, when Cincinnati’s Tony Perez put the N.L. on top with a one-out homer – and ultimately earned himself All-Star Game Most Valuable Player honors – against Catfish Hunter, who was in his fifth inning of relief work. Tom Seaver pitched a score- less bottom of the 15th to secure the win for Don Drysdale. THE 38th ALL-STAR GAME (JULY 11, 1967) NL 010 000 000 000 001 2 9 0 AL 000 001 000 000 000 1 8 0 NL - Marichal, Jenkins (4), Gibson (7), Short (9), Cuellar (11), Drysdale (13), Seaver (15) AL - Chance, McGlothlin (4), Peters (6), Downing (9), Hunter (11) W - Drysdale. L – Hunter HR - Allen, Robinson, Perez Att. - 46,309 TOG - 3:41 THE MLB ALL-STAR GAME AND THE ANGELS • The 1989 Midsummer Classic also was held on July 11th, with the host American Leaguers earning a 5-3 victory. The 1989 All-Star Game, which featured former President Ronald Reagan in the broadcast booth with Vin Scully, was the first in history to feature use of the designated hitter. In the first inning, the National League used three singles, two walks and a double-steal to jump out to a 2-0 lead against American League starter Dave Stewart. With two outs and two men in scoring position, Kansas City sensation Bo Jackson (right) made a spectacular running grab in left field, robbing Pedro Guerrero of a hit. In the bottom of the frame, Jackson led off with a towering home run to center field, estimated at 448 feet, against N.L. starter Rick Reuschel, and Boston’s Wade Boggs followed with another blast to tie the score at 2-2. The A.L. tacked on another run in the second, courtesy of Jackson’s RBI single, and four singles in the third inning plated two more runs. The two-sport star Jackson, the 1985 Heisman Trophy winner and a star tailback for the Los Angeles Raiders, finished with a 2-for-4 day at the plate and a stolen base. Before Jackson’s Most Valuable Player performance, Willie Mays had been the only player ever to homer and steal a base in an All-Star Game.

Jackson, Boggs Att. - 64,036 TOG - 2:48 • The Angels have had three All-Star Game Most Valuable Players, and all three captured the honors in Chicago. • Leon Wagner (3-for-4, 2 RBI) was the MVP of the second All-Star Game of the 1962 season at Wrigley Field in Chicago. • Fred Lynn, the MVP of the 1983 All-Star Game at Comiskey Park in Chicago, hit perhaps the most famous home run in All-Star Game history. His third inning grand slam – the first in All-Star Game history – sent the American League on its way to a 13-3 victory, which broke the National League’s 11-year reign over the Midsummer Classic. • In the first All-Star Game that featured the link to home-field advantage in the World Series, MVP Garret Anderson’s 3-for-4 day at the plate, which included a homer and a double, helped propel Mike Scioscia’s A.L. squad to a dramatic, come-from-behind 7-6 win. Anderson had won the Home Run Derby the previous day. • The Angels have had four pitchers who have been the American League’s starting hurler in the All-Star Game: Ken McBride (1963), Dean Chance (1964), Nolan Ryan (1979) and Mark Langston (1993).

Abrams [Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Temple University Press 1998] xi / 226 pages ISBN: 1-56639-599-2 In spite of the greater popularity of football and basketball, baseball remains the sport of greatest interest to writers, artists, and historians. The same appears to be true for law professors as well. Recent years have seen the publication Spencer Waller, Neil Cohen, & Paul Finkelman's, Baseball and the American Legal Mind (1995) and G. Ed- ward White's, Creating the National Pastime: Baseball Transforms Itself, 1903-1953 (1996). Now noted labor law expert and Rutgers-Newark Law School Dean Roger Abrams has entered the field with Legal Bases: Baseball and the Law. Unlike the Waller, Cohen, Finkelman anthology of documents and White's history, Abrams does not attempt the survey the full range of intersections between the baseball industry and the legal system. In- stead, he focuses upon the history of labor-management relations.
