Two local boys on the American League squad got together for some baseball chatter before the game. Walter (Hoot) Evers of Collinsville (left) explained to Larry (Yogi) Berra how he gets his power at the plate. Evers hit a home run to account for the first American League run.
"Dizzy" Dean laughingly tells the New York Yankees' Yogi Berra, one of the top hitters of present day baseball, that he's glad to be emceeing "Baseball Preview" every Saturday afternoon over the CBS Television Network rather than facing the American League's most valuable player. Yogi likewise seems happy that the ex-Cardinal and Cub pitching great has retired to the broadcasting booth.
Three former St. Louisans and now major league baseball stars, took part in the All-Star game. They are (from left): Yogi Berra, New York Yankees slugging catcher; Elston Howard, Yankee utility star, and Washington Senator Roy Sievers.
