1994 MLB All Star Game - Pittsburgh, July 12 

This was the last truly great All-Star Game. Interleague play had not begun yet so these guys still rarely faced each other unless the players switched leagues. There was still a some league pride on the line. These days, the All-Star Game is unwatchable.

Tony Gwynn and Kirby Puckett R.I.P

This game is very meaningful to me for several reasons. 1) It was my birthday, and I vividly remember watching this game live on TV; 2) I'm a Montreal native and was a HUGE Expos fan; 3) 1994 was my last year playing little league baseball, coincidentally the team I played for was called the Pirates; and 4) the Expos were having a banner year and had the best record in baseball before the strike ruined everything. This was the beginning of the end for my Expos, who developed a lot of great players and gifted the rest of MLB when we traded them away or left through free agency. We might have lost our franchise, but no one can ever take away the impact the team had on the rest of the league. Thank you for uploading this wonderful souvenir of my childhood that will always be etched in my head and my heart forever.

Arguably the greatest All Star game ever played. And the greatest collection of baseball talent as well. And it just happened to be in Pittsburgh. It's been said that old Three Rivers Stadium, for what it was worth, had always been the house of miracles. Not to mention Three Rivers always seemed to come alive in prime time. Actually housed more championship teams than Yankee Stadium during its existence. Too bad the ‘94 season ended with the strike.

I was lucky enough to have been there to see this game in person. Hard to believe it's already been 25 years ago.

Too bad they didn’t introduce the starting lineups like they usually do. One of my fav parts of the ASG! The only video that didn’t do it.

Wow those fireworks were booming over Three Rivers Stadium.

This could have been a huge year for Baseball. The expos should have got a chance at the World Series. However the terrible strike killed all that hope.

Dad and I were in one of the last rows in the left field upper deck when the game started. When the winning run crossed the plate, we were a few rows back on the third base side. I was eleven, and he was forty-one at the time.

Yeah Montreal was loaded that year for sure. That strike destroyed the Expos and baseball itself for a time. Then MLB looked away as Mcgwire and Sosa juiced it up and brought the fans back with the long ball. I enjoyed that season in 98. But I do miss players like Tony Gwynn, Don Mattingly, Kirby Puckett, Roberto Alomar etc...they didn't constantly strike out and swing for fences. They were real hitters. Ok, I gotta stop or I will go on and on forever. Thanks for uploading this. Good memories

The last season where the game was played right, it was about strategy over strength. A turning point in baseball history but not for the better

Can’t believe this was 30 years ago. I was 14 and in 1994 my dad would have probably been telling me about the all star game from 1954.

I was at this game...My uncle was security, got me & my father in last minute, for free. We lived 50 mins away in New Castle, Pa & was told if we weren’t there in 45 mins we couldn’t get in. My dads 1990 Honda Civic never went faster. We left right after the McGriff HR to tie it, to miss traffic. Listened on WDVE the whole way home. Will never forget that day for the rest of my life

One of, if not the best All Star game!! Thanks for the upload.

Here to listen to Joe Morgan. RIP. Thanks for the upload, kind stranger

I still do not think the MLB has recovered from the 1994 strike because of what it should have been still haunts them today.

LOVE AND MISS YOU MR, PADRE... LONG LOVE FOR EVER #19

I like Bob costs voice so smooth and joe morgan too

This is when baseball was great

I attended the '94 All-Star Game at Three Rivers. The first and only All-Star classic I ever witnessed. It also marked the week that the Roberto Clemente statue was first unveiled, July 8, 1994.

I love how everyone assumes that Montreal would have won the World Series this year. You still have to get threw the playoffs as well as the Braves. The Indians had a great team in the American League as did the Yankees. It’s called sports you can’t assume things in sports.

- July 12th: MLB has its All-Star Game....August 12th: the players go on strike....September 12th: the remainder of the season & World Series is cancelled. :-( Such a sad ending for baseball in 1994.

Best all star game damn near hof everywhere

so close at the plate...gotta love baseball!

Great baserunning by Gwynn there. He had every opportunity to take out Ivan Rodriguez, a la Rose/Fosse, but made the clean play instead and still got the run.

Jeff bagwell and frank thomas were born the say day wow never knew dat

12:14 Mike Piazza had the biggest forearms in MLB history 5/21/23

Long live The Baseball Network theme song, best baseball theme and intro ever

welcome 2020!!

Too bad they don’t show the introductions of the players. What a bummer!

Moises Alou, wow. 9 years later he almost caught that foul ball.

Wow tony ran fast good job nl

Moisés alou MVP

This was the year baseball got JACKED. Home runs and slugging percentages went through the roof. The dawning of the 'roid era.

Ivan a great catcher but with the winning run a very poor block of the plate. Cool though for Tony Gwynn!

The Baseball Network was garbage aside from a nice music theme

Harry Doyle!

Great ASG but Expos got robbed of the WS by greedy owners.

Back when the all star game meant something before the dark times...before inter league play

Gwynn was batting 383 son of a bitch i cant do that on a video game

The great stars make it a great game but money and greed eventually ruin everything. What it costs to attend is ridiculous.
