Play by play for the third inning (courtesy of Retrosheet). An inning that prompted Atlee Hammaker (who was leading the National League at the break in ERA [1.70]) to say, "To put it bluntly, it's probably the worst exhibition of pitching you'll ever see."

Did you know that this was the fiftieth anniversary of the first ever All-Star Game and it was being played exactly fifty years later?

The 1983 Midsummer Classic was the last for Johnny Bench (fourteen appearances) & Carl Yastrzemski (eighteen apperances) and the first for Cal Ripken, Jr.
