1979 All Star Game

[TOXIC ASSETS]

1979 was the first year I watched baseball and I thought I'd check out the all star rosters for that year. The National League won 7-6 in the only all star game played at the old Seattle Kingdome. Got this from Wikopedia. Lot of good players on this list:

I don't think the NL had enough catchers on the roster.

Isn't Dave Lemanczyk the dad of the Blue Jays new lefty starter?
