This was the third Midsummer Classic played at Sportsman's Park and the American League now had a 2-1 lead on the National League field.

Did you know that this was the last Midsummer Classic played at Sportsman's Park? The July 12, 1966 contest was played at the Cardinals new home — Busch Memorial Stadium.

The final inning near-comeback: Stan Musial walked, Willie Mays tripled, and a Jack Sanford wild pitch brought in two runs. Hank Foiles kept it alive by following with a single, Gus Bell walked, and an Ernie Banks single brought the game to within one run for the senior circuit. With two out and a man on second Gil Hodges came to the plate, but hit a HARD liner to left-center which was caught on the run by Minnie Minoso to preserve the victory.
