Willie Mays sparked the National League to a 7 4 comeback over the American League at Shea Stadium. Willie stole second, Cepeda singled, and Callison hit a three run homer in the ninth off Dick Radatz to seal the NL victory and tie the series at 17 apiece.
A dramatic All Star Game tied 3 3 after a HANTS on Iason triple to right center drove in two in the seventh. The crowd of 50,850 marked the largest ever at an All Star gathering since 195 in Los Angeles as Mike Fregosi, Willie Mays, and Johnny Callison delivered key moments. Mays chased Howard’s deep fly in the eighth while Fregosi’s seventh inning swing kept hope alive.
The 50,850 crowd at Shea roared as Mantle and Mays drew cheers alongside Stengel and Hunt. NL bats exploded in a fourth inning rally, highlighted by Billy Williams’s first pitch homer off John Wyatt, with Mays, Clemente, and Boyer contributing big plays as NL seized control and P Pepitone’s late error barely altered the momentum. The decisive run came on the famed miscue with Mays stealing second and sprinting home on a crucial throw, sealing the NL’s strong performance despite a Phillies logo on the starting lineup.
