1965 All-Star Game

The 1965 All-Star Game was played on Tuesday, July 7, 1964. The National League won the thirty-sixth midsummer classic by a score of 6 to 5. The game was played at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, MN in front of 46,706 fans. The MVP was Juan Marichal of the San Francisco Giants.

Because both managers in the 1964 World Series, Johnny Keane of the St. Louis Cardinals and Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees, had left their job following the series, it was the managers of the second-place team in both leagues the previous season who skippered their respective league's team.
