34th All-Star Game: Willie Mays does it all in win over AL

National League 5, American League 3

July 9, 1963, Cleveland Stadium, Cleveland

Starting pitchers: Jim O’Toole, Reds; Ken McBride, Angels.

Managers: Alvin Dark, Giants; Ralph Houk, Yankees.

MVP: Willie Mays, Giants.

Highlight: The single-game format returned after four years of playing a pair of Midsummer Classics. Mays had only one hit, but he collected two RBIs, scored two runs and stole two bases. He also made a solid running catch in the eighth inning to take an extra-base hit away from the Yankees’ Joe Pepitone.
