The game was played "out-of-turn" because the city of St. Louis was celebrating their bicentennial AND the opening of Busch Memorial Stadium.

Did you know that this was the fourth Midsummer Classic to go into extra innings? The first three were: the 1950 All-Star Game (14 innings), the 1955 All-Star Game (12 innings), and the 1961 All-Star Game (10 innings).

Sources vary by a degree up or down, but one thing is certain - the temperature at game time was over 104 degrees fahrenheit on the playing field.
