The National League skipper was Danny Murtaugh, manager of the 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates (reigning World Champions), who had retired after the 1971 World Series due to health concerns, but came out of retirement to manager the National League All-Star team.

Did you know that this extra-inning victory gave the National League a 7-0 (undefeated) record for Midsummer Classics that went beyond nine innings?

The quote at the top of the page by Hank Aaron is refuted by Gaylord Perry who still claims that the pitch thrown to Hammerin' Hank was not a spitball.
