1967 MLB All-Star Game Highlights 

Rest In Peace Tom Seaver

RIP DIck Allen. Nice home run to right center in this close game.

My dad took me to this game. We sat in the right field bleachers. I was 12 years old.

Love 1960s all star games baseball

I was about to enter high scholl in St. Louis and remember watching this game all the way. There was great defense but what really stands out is that among all these great players how it was such a pitching duel with so many playing due to all the extra innings. Pitching dominates in Baseball.

1967 was the year of YAZ

Great pitching on both sides.

At the end of the game, Tony Perez said he hit that homer for his mother!!

Finally what Anaheim Stadium originally looked like--in 1967 (I was in summer camp in New York State that year)!

Good to see Dick Allen rip into one for a HR one story i heard this game went on for so long that Mantle went back to his home went to the bar and the game was still going on

Richie Allen had tremendous power. No steroods or weights. He was also a great base runner.

Back when Baseball was good, 10 teams each league, no DH, no divisions, playoffs or wildcard. Season ended 1st weekend in October, World Series started 3 days later on a wednesday.

After wathing this video, I went back and looked at the box score for this game. Becasue of the lengh of this game, the NL sent 51 hitters to the plate and the AL sent 49 for a total of 100 at bats. I knew during what we saw on this video, there were a quite a few strike outs. 17 AL hitters struk out as did 13 NL hitters for a total of 30 SO's. So 30% of the total hitters struck out during the course of the game. I think that is a hight ratio of strikeouts vs the number of at bats for an all star game. And all three of the runs came off of solo homeruns. Interesting game though.

Great pitcher tom seaver RIP

Managers serving as base coaches for the All-Star game: NL Herman Franks, Giants, 1B *Harry Walker, Pirates, 3B AL Eddie Stanky, White Sox, 1B Bill Rigney, Angels, 3B *Only a week after this game, Walker was fired as Pirates manager, with Danny Murtaugh filling out the rest of the season.

As this and a few other videos on RU-vid successfully illustrate, Major League Baseball in the 1960's was the Golden Age of Baseball. And that's for many reasons. I specialize in the aesthetics of the 60s era, so I'll cover that here: Every team played in great ballparks, whether they were in older, classic ballparks (Phillies' Shibe Park, Reds' Crosley Field, Pirates' Forbes Field, Tigers' namesake Stadium, White Sox' Comiskey Park, Yankee's original namesake Stadium, etc) or in more modern parks (Dodgers' namesake Stadium, Giants' Candlestick Park, Astros' namesake Dome, Angels' Anaheim Stadium, A's Oakland Coliseum, Twins' Metropolitan Stadium, Orioles' Memorial Stadium, etc), they were all great, with the exception of the Cardinals and Senators, who I think were aesthetically better in Busch Stadium I (Sportsmans Park) and Griffith Park, respectively. The dugouts and clubhouses were designed and built to serve the very purpose of a simple area for the players to be in, not virtual apartments like today. The overall look of green seats and steel, simple grandstand construction, and on special occasions, red white and blue bunting, made for a timeless atmosphere that anyone can appreciate. The players also dressed very well. As a comment on a Uni Watch post says, the jersey and pants are trim but not tight. Button down jerseys with short sleeves and true vests reign supreme. The stirrup socks were at the most ideal proportion of stirrup to sanitary sock, allowing for plenty of white (Or yellow in the A's case) while still giving enough space for colorful and creative stripes. It was pre-double knit so every jersey was soft flannel but you still had an injection of powder blue roads. The cap is not quite the exaggerated high peak but isn’t formless either, with green underbrims for reduced glare (The grass is green too) and leather sweatbands with white reeding. No matter what style a team happened to wear, it was almost guaranteed to look like baseball. Teams with classic designs (Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cardinals, etc) and those who experimented with their looks (A's, Pilots, White Sox, Expos, Padres, etc) all looked very elegant, particularly because button-front jerseys and belted pants were still in vogue, giving off a classic, formal vibe, going with the notion of baseball being a gentleman's game. The umpires also looked their best, many times being outfitted in dark navy suits, caps, and black ties and dress shoes, with either white shirts, adding to the aforementioned formal and official vibe. The players not only dressed well, but the equipment they used, consisting of Hillerich and Bradsby made Louisville Slugger or Adirondack natural-colored ash wood bats; Rawlings, Wilson, or Spalding tan leather fielding gloves and mitts; the aforementioned black (Or white in the A's case) leather spikes; simple-construction batting helmets with one earflap, which just seems to scream baseball to me; and catcher's equipment with simple patterns on the chest protector, shin guards (Both of which preferably in team colors), and the steel bars of the mask, were also simple compared to today, but elegant. And that's just the aesthetics of that era-not to mention the caliber of players during that time. But I'll let others cover that. I hope my Heaven is 1960's MLB when my time comes.

Angels still play here ..:it’s the 4th oldest stadium in baseball behind Fenway Wrigley and Dodger stadium

Now, who would sacrifice bunt in today's all-star game?

Ironically, Tony Perez was one of the National Leagues Premier Home Run Hitters The Reds had Lee May and Johnny Bench and Pete Rose and too. Ironically it was 1966 or 67 when I started following the Cincinnati Reds. My Uncle George Fisher owned the Staten Island Dry Cleaners and had a contract with the Yankees and Mets to Dry Clean their Uniforms. I was born in the Bronx New York but I moved to Cincinnati Ohio when I was five years old and quickly became a Cincinnati, Red, Royals and Bengals too!

Great post

Narrated by Jack Brickhouse.

Back when baseball was fun.

Tony c was never the same player after getting beaned very sad could have been a hall of famer !

All three runs scored in this game were solo shots all by third baseman

great players. great players.

This was at the Big A in Anaheim in its second season which looks alot like the Angels temporary home Dodger Stadium

There were 24 furture hof in this game

All solo HRs....All by Third Baseman! A Record??

The only thing I remember from this game was Ken Berry striking out to end it. I was more for the National League, but what a fizzle of an ending.

Tom Seaver's rookie season - 1967

I noticed some of the crowd was smoking pipes and cigars.

How is Dick Allen not in the HOF ?

I noticed the players running to the dugout when they made outs.....unlikley we'll ever see that today.

I was approximately 5,616,000 seconds old at that time.

Mistake at 4:15--Brickhouse says Chance gave up 3 hits in his 3 innings, when really he gave up 2 (single to Clemente and solo homer to Allen). Also (5:05, 7:20) misidentifies Jim McGlothlin as a rookie (the previous year was his rookie season). (15:40) Bottom of the 10th, he says, 'Yastrzemski's on 2nd with the tying run.' No, the potential winning run, idiot! The score is already tied! (18:44) Gene Alley strikes out '...and McCarver is left stranded.' Well, he was left stranded--but only after pinch-hitter Pete Rose made the third out (Alley was the second out).

and how many poor GI's died in Vietnam during this game? damn war. damn politicians!

Were the "Play Ball" vocalists the same ones who sang I'm a Lumberjack for Monty Python?

Isn't this the same ballpark where Coniglaro was hit in face ?Keeping him from playing. against st. Louis in world series..
