1974 ALL-STAR GAME- 1975 HIGHLIGHT CARD

On the blog today, we move on to the 1974 Major League All-Star game celebrated on a 1975 card, in my on-going thread that should wrap up in a few weeks:

 
For the 1974 "Midsummer Classic", all eyes were on the Los Angeles Dodgers up and coming star first baseman Steve Garvey, who was a write-in vote to start the game, and did NOT disappoint the Three Rivers Stadium fans.
While the American League stars were held to two runs on four hits, Garvey himself went 2-for-4 at the plate with a run scored and an RBI, helping the N.L. to yet another victory, 7-2.
N.L. starter Andy Messersmith allowed two runs in his three innings, while the rest of the staff blanked the A.L. on two hits over the last six innings.
It was the third of what would eventually be eleven straight All-Star wins for the N.L., with the A.L. finally winning one in 1983.
