Since its inception in 1933, the All-Star Game has become an
integral part of baseball. Yet there has been no truly
comprehensive source for researchers that includes both a narrative
and a play-by-play for each game. Nor have there been more than
perfunctory lists for historians to use in determining who among
baseball's greats have had an impact on the games.
The Midsummer Classic covers each of the All-Star Games and
examines All-Star history more extensively than ever before. It not
only discusses each game in great detail -- with play-by-play,
complete roster information, and expanded box scores -- but also
breaks new ground with a series of itemized lists never before
published. The book also includes information on the ceremonies
surrounding the games, along with an explanation of how these
ceremonies have changed over time. In addition, it explains how the
All-Star Game has been influenced by the significant changes that
have occurred in baseball over the years, such as the breaking of
the color line, expansion, the shifting of franchises, and the
introduction of the designated hitter.
