1983 | Fred Lynn, AL (California) | July 6, Comiskey Park | Atlee Hammaker, NL (San Francisco) | 3rd | 9–1 | 13–3, W | In the 50th anniversary game, Lynn hits the first grand slam in All-Star history to right field on a 2–2 pitch with two out, capping a 7-run inning and virtually ensuring the AL's first victory since 1971 and second since 1962. Just before the pitch, NBC put on-screen a graphic indicating that there had never been a grand slam hit in All-Star history. |
