1979 All-Star Game
The 1979 All-Star Game of Major League Baseball was the 50th playing of the midsummer classic between the all-stars of the
American League and National League. The game was held in Seattle, Wa. at the Kingdome, home of the
American Leagues Seattle Mariners. The game was won by the National League 7-6.
The American League was leading 6-5 going into the eighth when the National League tied it on a Lee Mazzilli home run.
Brian Downing led off the bottom of the inning with a single against Bruce Sutter. A sacrifice moved Downing along and
Reggie Jackson was walked intentionally. One out later, Graig Nettles singled to right and, with Downing trying to score,
Dave Parker rifled the ball to catcher Gary Carter. Carter forced Downing to the inside of the plate and applied the
inning-ending tag as Downing made a head-first dive.
The 1979 All-Star Game MVP was Dave Parker.
