Fred's shot came for the American League in 1983, representing the California Angels. The American League won it 13-3 at Comiskey Park in Chicago. The National League pitcher, Atlee Hammaker, also set an All-Star game record by allowing seven runs in that game's third inning with the help of Lynn. Lynn was also the first player in history to win the Rookie of the Year and the MVP Award in the same season in 1975.

On a stage where a pitcher should shine, the Braves' Glavine fell apart in this 1992 game beginning with the first pitch. He lasted only 1.2 innings before Braves' manager Bobby Cox yanked him for Cubs pitcher (and future Brave) Greg Maddux. Glavine gave up seven hits in the first inning, giving up four runs to the American League, which won it 13-6.
