1950 All-Star Game-July 11,1950



1950 IRL All-Star Game
As the All-Star game entered its third decade, the National League was tired of being baseball's perennial loser. Trailing 12-4 in All-Star Games and losing the three previous World Series, the National League did not have the fans or American League players respect anymore.
Inspired by their poor showing in the previous decades, the National League resolved to make this year different. The 1950 All-Star Game turned out to be the first to go into extra innings, featured two dramatic home runs and produced some of the finest All-Star pitching ever. As usual, the American League was leading (3-2) in the top of the ninth. Then, Ralph Kiner led off with a long home run that tied the score and set the stage for a three-inning pitchers' duel.
Larry Jansen pitched for the National League into the eleventh inning while giving up one hit in five innings. Allie Reynolds matched him, taking the American League into the twelfth and giving up one hit over three innings. Pitcher Ted Gray took over for the American League in the thirteenth and maintained the status quo. In the fourteenth, however, the National League fired another leadoff rocket off the bat of Red Schoendienst. He was an unlikely hero as he had sat for ten innings while Jackie Robinson played second. Entering the game defensively in the eleventh, Schoendienst stepped up in the fourteenth and homered into the left-field stands. Even more disheartening was the American League loss of Ted Williams. While making a running catch of a Kiner drive in the first inning, he ran into the wall and broke his elbow. He stayed in the game, visibly injured, and went one-for-four. Later he underwent surgery and didn't play again until September 15. The National League had gone the distance and made a statement. Finally, they had established a momentum that would last for several years.

"(Ralph) Kiner can wipe out your lead with one swing." - Hall of Fame pitcher Warren Spahn

Walt Dropo touched them all and had 4 RBI at Yankee Stadium where the Boston



Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 9 to 6.







Boston scored the decisive runs in a big 9th inning with 3 runs using 2 hits.



Clyde Vollmer led off and he laced a base-knock. Dom Dimaggio struck out,



unable to help the rally. Billy Goodman then drew a walk. Dropo came up and



he smacked a three-run homer (his 15th of the season). It was roller coaster



of a game as the lead change hands 5 times.







The win was credited to Walt Masterson(4-6) who went 1 and 1/3 innings



allowing no runs. Mickey McDermott earned his 4th save. Tom Ferrick(5-2)



absorbed the loss in relief. Boston scored big getting 4 runs off him in 2



and 1/3 innings.







Boston now has a record of 42-34. With an impressive recent record of 8-2,



New York hopes this will only be an isolated loss - followed by another nice



run.

First baseman Joe Collins had 4 hits and 4 RBI and Whitey Ford took a

no-hitter into the 9th inning as the Boston Red Sox were badly beaten by the

streaking New York Yankees, 16 to 0.



Collins had a good evening at the plate. He cracked a solo homerun (his 7th

of the season) in the 2nd inning, doubled resulting in a run in the 5th

inning, doubled which scored a run in the 8th inning and lined a one-base hit

plating a run in the 8th inning. New York provided plenty of action in the

8th inning when they had 12 runs on 9 hits. New York had a total of 21 hits

for the game.



For Ford(8-1) it was his 2nd shutout this year. The left-handed Ford lost his

chance for a no-hitter when Billy Goodman singled with nobody out in the 9th

inning. Ellis Kinder(7-5) was hit with the loss. He was knocked around by

New York, allowing 14 hits and 6 walks in 7 innings.



New York continued their winning ways, with their streak now at 8 games and

counting.

Tommy Byrne was able to finish what he started and was credited with a

complete game at Yankee Stadium where the blistering-hot New York Yankees

beat the Philadelphia Athletes 9 to 2.



Philadelphia was unable to recover after New York went ahead in the bottom of

the 5th inning with 3 runs on 5 hits. Gene Woodling led off and started the

rally when he tripled. Billy Johnson was next and he hit a deep fly

resulting in a run. Byrne then lined a single. Phil Rizzuto followed and he

tripled bringing in another run. Jerry Coleman stepped into the box and

delivered a one-base hit scoring the final run of the inning. New York

banged out 16 on the afternoon.



Byrne(10-2), allowing 2 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Bobby

Shantz(1-8) was tagged with the loss. He pitched 7 innings giving up 13 hits

and 1 walk.
