1967 Major League Baseball All-Star Game

The 1967 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 38th midseason exhibition between the all-stars of the American League (AL) and the National League (NL), the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball. The game was played on July 11, 1967, at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, California, home of the California Angels of the American League. The game resulted in a 2–1 15 inning victory for the NL. It set the record for the longest All-Star Game by innings, subsequently matched in 2008.

The batting order was determined by each team's manager.

The NL scored first when Dick Allen, the lead-off batter in the top of the second inning, hit a home run off of AL pitcher Dean Chance.

The AL tied the score in the bottom of the sixth inning. With one out, Brooks Robinson hit a home run off of NL relief pitcher Ferguson Jenkins. The score remained unchanged through the ninth inning, forcing the game into extra innings. In the top of the 15th inning, Tony Pérez hit a one-out home run off of AL pitcher Catfish Hunter, then in his fifth inning of relief, to give the NL a lead it would not relinquish.

Rod Carew became the first (and as of 2008, only) rookie second baseman to start an All-Star Game.
