Steve Garvey was the second player named to start an All-Star game via an All-Star ballott write in. The first was Rico Carty during the 1970 All-Star Game.

Did you know that Lou Brock came into the All-Star Game with more steals (sixty) by the half way point of the 1974 regular season than most players have had during a career?

American League President Lee MacPhail was determined to win this Midsummer Classic and had starting pitchers rested before the game, told Dick Williams to start the best players (even if other players did not get an opportunity to play) and lost anyway. Do you think this was the right decision? Was the American League in a mental rut or was the National League simply superior? Share your Midsummer Game thoughts & opinions on Baseball Fever.
