(2-1) The Other Way, 50 years Later
I believe the score was also (2-1) fifty years ago with the N.L. winning then.
The A.L. won the completely meaningless All Star tilt last night, by the same (2-1) extra inning score.
In ’67 the great “Doggy,” Tony Perez won it for the N.L.
I will not look, but it appears a good player, Robinson Cano led the A.L. win last night.
Was Perez cited? In ’67 his Reds were three years away from winning, Cano and Seattle may never do so.
Never is a long time even longer than fifty years.
Surely one ought not say “never/ever” but baseball’s meaningless All-Star game is not something I will care about for a long time.
