Stan Musial and Ted Williams (right), standout hitters in the National and American Leagues, respectively, got together for a little chit chat before the game. Musial turned out to be senior circuit's hero in a losing cause while the "Splendid Splinter" walked in his only time at bat.
Potential power in the National League lineup was represented by this quartet of sluggers. From the left, are: Johnny Mize and Walker Cooper, former Cardinals now with the New York Giants; Ralph Kiner, slugging outfielder of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Stan Musial of the Cardinals. Mize and Kiner led both leagues in home run production last season with 51 circuit wallops and Musial currently leads both leagues in hitting with a .403 average.
