Encyclopedia
The 1983 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 54th playing of the midsummer classic between the all-stars
of the American League
(AL) and National League
(NL), the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball
. The game was held on July 6, 1983, at Comiskey Park
in Chicago, Illinois, the home of the Chicago White Sox
of the American League. The game resulted in the American League defeating the National League 13-3. The game occurred exactly 50 years to the date of the first All-Star game
.
This was the fifth All-Star Game to be played in Chicago, and the third to be hosted by the White Sox at Comiskey Park (the other two being hosted by the Chicago Cubs
at Wrigley Field
). This would be the last time that the All-Star Game would be hosted in the stadium where the annual exhibition began. When the White Sox next hosted the All-Star Game in 2003
, they had moved across the street to their new home at U.S. Cellular Field
.
