1982 On July 13, 1982, the first All-Star Game outside of the United States is held at Montreal's Olympic Stadium. Dave Concepcion hits a two-run homer to help the National League to a 4-1 win. Montreal Expos right-hander Steve Rogers earns the victory.

1971 On July 13, 1971, Reggie Jackson of the Oakland A's hits one of the most memorable home runs in All-Star Game history. Jackson smashes a monstrous blast against Dock Ellis of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The ball caroms off a light tower atop the roof of Tiger Stadium, some 520 feet away from home plate. The All-Star Game, which features 20 future Hall of Fame players, is won by the American League, 6-4.

1963 On July 13, 1963, Early Wynn of the Cleveland Indians wins the 300th - and final - game of his major league career. The 43-year-old Wynn, who had failed in seven previous attempts at the milestone, pitches the first five innings of a 7-4 win over the Kansas City A's.

1950 On July 13, 1950, Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox undergoes an operation to remove several bone fragments from his elbow. The future Hall of Famer will eventually return from the injury and will hit .350 over the second half to finish the season at .317.

1943 On July 13, 1943, the American and National leagues play the first night All-Star Game. Pittsburgh's Vince DiMaggio homers, triples, and singles, but the National League loses the game, 5-4, on a three-run home run by Boston's Bobby Doerr.

1934 On July 13, 1934, future Hall of Famer Babe Ruth slams the 700th home run of his career. The blast, which victimizes right-hander Tommy Bridges, helps the New York Yankees to a 4-2 win over the Detroit Tigers.

1915 On July 13, 1915, Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Red Faber uses his legs to help his cause in a game against the St. Louis Browns, when he collects a hit and steals second, third and home. Despite his efforts, he loses, 3-1. The three steals are nearly half of the career total of seven that he will accumulate in his 20-year career. Faber goes on to win 254 games in his Hall of Fame career.
