National League 7,
American League 2
For the second straight year, the National
League had an easy time of it -- and crushed the American League
despite using five pitchers who had no All-Star Game
experience.
Manager Yogi Berra used Andy Messersmith, Ken
Brett, Jon Matlack, Lynn McGlothlen and Mike Marshall. Also being
filtered into the NL lineup for the first time were two future
All-Star perennials, Steve Garvey and Mike Schmidt.
Garvey as the NL's key man. Although he was not
listed on the All-Star ballot, he made the starting lineup by a
write-in vote. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI and scored a run.
For once, Yogi properly described the outcome:
"We had the better team."
