"I'm the only National League manager who has lost in the last thirteen or fourteen years. I went out to make lineup changes and Bruce Froemming said, 'Hey, you put the hex on these guys too.'" - Whitey Herzog

The National League pitching staff struck out twelve batters — a total equalled only three times before in All-Star History: 1934 All-Star Game (NL), 1956 All-Star Game (AL) & 1959 All-Star Game (NL).

Did you know that Wally Joyner was the first rookie to be elected to the starting team of an All-Star squad by the fans and the fifteenth rookie overall to actually start in a Midsummer Classic?

In a game dominated by great pitching, some fans forget there was also two balks, a wild pitch, and a passed ball. Knuckleballer Charlie Hough figured in all three and said, "The balls he (Rich Gedman) missed didn't really get away from him. He just missed them them with his glove."
