Box Score of the Week

In paying homage to the All Star break taking place earlier this week, let's check out the Mid Summer Classic from 1983.

In this the 54th All Star game, Fred Lynn of the California Angels hit the first grand slam home run in All-Star Game history.

Lotsa things about this one -- first time the American League won in a long time, think it was the first grand slam in All-Star history and the butt kicking that Atlee Hammaker took was one of the biggest in history.

I've been having a hard time with these lately, so thanks for something I actually remember well.
