The All-Star Game returned to Comiskey Park and saw the National League win, 4-3, in 13 innings, on a home run by the Cardinals infielder Red Schoendienst. The White Sox representative on that day was pitcher Ray Scarborough, who was acquired earlier in the season from Washington. This was the game where the Red Sox Ted Williams broke his elbow hitting Comiskey Park’s unpadded outfield wall.

The White Sox blew a game and lost to the Orioles in Baltimore, 7-6. The loss would have long-term consequences for the franchise, because it eventually led to the firing of GM Roland Hemond.
