The '''1963 Major League Baseball All-Star Game''' was the 34th playing of the midsummer classic between the [[all-star]]s of the [[American League]] (AL) and [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL), the two leagues comprising [[Major League Baseball]]. The game was held on July 9, 1963 in [[Cleveland, Ohio]], at [[Cleveland Stadium|Cleveland Municipal Stadium]], home of the [[American League]]'s [[Cleveland Indians]]. The game was won by the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] 5–3.

From 1959 to 1962, baseball experimented with a pair of All-Star Games per year. That ended with this 1963 game, which also marked the 30th anniversary of the [[1933 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|inaugural All-Star Game]] played in [[Chicago]] in 1933.

==Scoring summary==
The teams traded runs in the second inning. [[Willie Mays]] drew a walk off [[Ken McBride]], stole second and scored on a [[Dick Groat]] single. The AL tied the score when [[Jim O'Toole]] gave up a [[Leon Wagner]] single, hit [[Zoilo Versalles]] with a pitch and surrendered an RBI hit to his pitching counterpart, McBride.

In the third, both sides scored twice. Behind 3-1, the AL struck back on a double by [[Albie Pearson]] and singles by [[Frank Malzone]] and [[Earl Battey]] to tie it at 3-all.

The NL scratched out a run off [[Jim Bunning]] in the fifth to regain the lead, then made it 5-3 in the eighth when [[Bill White (first baseman)|Bill White]] singled off [[Dick Radatz]], stole second and scored on a [[Ron Santo]] single. [[Don Drysdale]] closed it out in the eighth and ninth, retiring [[Bobby Richardson]] on a game-ending double play.

==Rosters==
Players in ''italics'' have since been inducted into the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame]].
