In 1981 (https://archive.506sports.com/wiki/1981_MLB_Season), Major League Baseball held its All-Star Game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Major_League_Baseball_All-Star_Game) at Cleveland Municipal Stadium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Stadium) in Early August following a players' strike (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Major_League_Baseball_strike) which cancelled two months of the season (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981_Major_League_Baseball_season). There was a lot of mystery surrounding the game and how the fans would react to the players upon returning to action. What we got at the 1981 MLB All-Star Game (https://www.baseball-reference.com/allstar/1981-allstar-game.shtml) was a lot of exciting action, plus a cameo for Morgana: The Kissing Bandit (https://www.instagram.com/p/DKPZtgBu_UG/)!
It was also the first All-Star Game for several Hall of Famers, including Ozzie Smith and Andre Dawson. Enjoy as we look back on the 1981 MLB All-Star Game.
