1960 All-Star Game Play by Play

Retrosheet is a not-for-profit organization that was founded in 1989 for the purpose of computerizing play-by-play accounts of as many pre-1984 major league games as possible. Their research is without parallel, beyond exceptional, and in a league by itself. Baseball Almanac is pleased to present this play-by-play account of the 1960 All-Star Game courtesy of Retrosheet.

"All it proved (the close score) was that the American League junior varsity was more potent than the National jayvees." - Arthur Daley in The New York Times (07-13-1960)
