Game

For many local New York fans, the second All-Star Game marked the return of Willie Mays to New York. Against starting pitcher Whitey Ford, Mays led off the game with a single, then homered in the third. Eddie Matthews and Stan Musial also hit home runs in the game. The All-Star game also marked the nineteenth and final All-Star appearance of Ted Williams, who left the competition with a .304 average, four home runs, twelve runs batted in and ten runs scored.

Umpires: Dusty Boggess, Home Plate (NL); Nestor Chylak, First Base (AL); Tom Gorman, Second Base (NL); Jim Honochick, Third Base (AL); Vinnie Smith, Left Field (NL); Johnny Stevens, Right Field (AL)
