1993 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 1993 All-Star Game courtesy of Retrosheet.

"It was the first time I've ever been cheered for pitching. It was like Ward was the mortal enemy, but he was on our side. I felt bad for him." - Mike Mussina
