Baseball held one, and only one, All Star game restricted to players of Hispanic origin. Aside from that fact, it also has considerable historical significance for another reason. Where and when was it held? What other historical significance did it have?

The All-star game for players of Hispanic origin was held after the 1963 World Series on October 12th at the Polo Grounds in New York. It was also significant because it was the last game played at the Polo Grounds.

The game features such names as Felipe Alou, Luis Aparicio, Orlando Cepeda, Roberto Clemente, Julián Javier, Minnie Miñoso, Tony Oliva and Zoilo Versalles. Vic Power receives a pregame award as the number one Latin player. NL starter Juan Marichal strikes out six in four innings, though reliever Al McBean is the winning pitcher. Pinch hitter Manny Mota drives in two runs against loser Pedro Ramos. This was the last baseball game played at the Polo Grounds, as the New York Mets moved into the brand new Shea Stadium in 1964.

Wow, you guys are good!
