From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
1977 Major League Baseball All-Star Game
was the 48th playing of the midsummer classic between the
all-stars
of the
American League
(AL) and
National League
(NL), the two leagues comprising
Major League Baseball
. The game was held on July 19, 1977, at
Yankee Stadium
in
The Bronx
,
New York City
, the home of the
New York Yankees
of the American League. The game resulted in the National League defeating the American League 7?5.
The host
Yankees
won the
World Series
; the third time in history that a team hosting the All-Star Game would win the World Series in the same year. As of 2021, the 1977 Yankees were the last team to accomplish this. The previous teams to accomplish this were the
1939 New York Yankees
and the
1959 Los Angeles Dodgers
. Since 1977, this would have happened two other times, with the
2020 Los Angeles Dodgers
, but the All-Star Game was canceled due to the
COVID-19 pandemic
, and the
2021 Atlanta Braves
, but the All-Star Game was moved to Denver.
This was Yankee Stadium's third time as host of the All-Star Game, and it would be its last until
2008
; the last year of the park's use by the Yankees.
