1993 All-Star Game Box Score

The fans at Oriole Park booed throughout the game. Why? Because the American League lineup was "full" of Toronto Blue Jays. Seven to be exact of which three were elected by the fans and four of which were selected by the skipper, Cito Gaston who defended his actions, "I've been getting criticized for years. I'm used to it. Especially in Toronto. It doesn't bother me. One thing about this job, you will be criticized. I took (selected to the squad) six world champions and one hall of famer. I don't think I have to apologize to anyone. Those are All-Stars."

Did you know that when John Smoltz threw two wild pitches during the sixth inning of the 1993 All-Star Game he was not the first pitcher with control issues? Those who he tied were Juan Marichal (1962 All-Star Game) and Dave Stieb (1980 All-Star Game).

Two famous firsts of note: Gary Sheffield was the first player from a first year expansion team to be chosen to an All-Star team's starting lineup and Kirby Puckett was the first Minnesota Twins' All-Star to win the All-Star Most Valuable Player Award.
