Did you know that the one-hour fifty-three minute game length is an All-Star record for shortest Midsummer Classic ever played?

Five National League hurlers combined to blank the American League in this, the first ever All-Star shutout game.

This was the first Midsummer Classic ever played at Sportsman's Park which also hosted All-Star Games in 1948 and 1957.
