Hits in the All-Star game
Posted by Andy on June 25, 2009
Hey did you know that the PI has an All-Star Game Event Finder? Check it out. Here's the summary page for all hits in All-Star game history. Willie Mays leads the way with 23 hits, followed by Stan Musial with 20. These guys are way in the lead and are unlikely to ever be caught.
How about the 30 hits to lead off an All-Star game? Mays leads there too, with 4. The only active player with as many as 2 is Ichiro, and I'd say he's got a shot of tying Mays.
Here are the 8 hits to end an All-Star game:

They were all victories, which isn't always the case. (For example, sometimes a guy gets a hit and a runner is thrown out at the plate to end the game.)
Just out of curiosity, here are the 24 intentional walks in All-Star game history:

They all ended the game, but #73 is the only one where the game was tied and no runs scored. This is because that game was the infamous tie All-Star game.

Only 3 all-star games have ended with nobody out at the time of the final AB
Is that right?
