Program for the 1954 Baseball All-Star Game at Cleveland Stadium.
Lot 583. Program for the 1954 Baseball All-Star Game at Cleveland Stadium. This game was something less than a pitcher’s duel. In fact, 13 pitchers gave up 20 runs and 31 hits as the American League posted an 11-9 victory. Although the game featured six home runs, including two by Al Rosen, it was a single to center by Nellie Fox that drove in the winning run. Even though he never faced a single batter, Washington’s Dean Stone was credited with the win. With two outs in the eighth inning, Stone came on in relief. When Red Schoendienst, who was on third, attempted to steal home, Stone threw him out to end the inning. Larry Doby then pinch hit for Stone and tied the game with a home run. The 32-page program pictures the players individually, including Musial, Mays, Snider, Jackie Robinson, Spahn, Berra, Doby, Fox, Williams, Mantle and Ford. The program remains unscored and is ex with some stress creases along the spine and a crease in the lower left corner. Very collectible example.
Winning Bid $68.
