Gibson Dreads Starting All Star Game Pitching Duty
ATLANTA AP Bob Gibson reluctantly agrees to start the 43rd All Star Game against Jim Palmer at Atlanta Stadium. He prefers relief and says he would rather pitch one inning. Palmer is a silent starter as NL and AL lineups are set with stars like Hank Aaron and Johnny Bench. Weaver and Murtaugh discuss bullpen plans as gate and TV coverage loom. The game features a power lineup in a hitter friendly park known as The Launching Pad.
