  • 1981 and 1982 All-Star Games - at Cleveland and Montreal - both on one DVD! - Our newest All-Star Game DVD! Neither game has ever been available on VHS or DVD and our restoration from original 16mm film is now complete. Pre-game features the Army Golden Knights parachute team delivering the game ball to V.P. Bush, on hand for the ceremonial first pitch. This game represented the end of the 50-day ’81 baseball strike. Honorary Captains are Warren Spahn and Bob Feller, 33 years after they opposed each other at this very ballpark in the 1948 World Series! Jim Frey and Dallas Green are the opposing managers. Two shutout innings are pitched by American Leaguers Jack Morris and Len Barker to start the game and Singleton’s homer off Tom Seaver gives the A.L. a 1-0 lead after two innings. In the 5th Gary Carter’s home run ties the game 1-1, and in the 6th, Dave Parker’s blast gives the N.L. the lead 2-1. The A.L. scores three runs in the 6th, chasing Burt Hooton and leads after six innings, 4-2. In the 7th, Carter’s 2nd homer gets a run back and in the 8th, Mike Schmidt, the ML HR leader, clouts a two-run homer, which provides the eventual winning runs in the 5-4 N.L. victory. The crowd of 72,086 set the all-time All-Star Game attendance record which still stands! Gary Carter is MVP of the ’81 game and Dave Concepcion (two-run homer) is MVP in 1982 at Montreal, a 4-1 N.L. win.
