The All-Star Game of 1992 was held at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, California, on July the 14.The 1992 Midsummer Classic was the first Major League game, including those from the regular season, to feature the “base cam” which featured an actual camera inside the first base bag. Despite dominating the majority of the previous decades, the National League had now become the underdog. After four consecutive losses, the National League entered the 1992 Midsummer Classic game determined to win back the respect that they were used to. The American League laced seven consecutive first-inning singles and bolted to a 4-0 lead. National League starter Tom Glavine and two of his successors, Bob Tewksbury and Doug Jones, worked 4 1/3 innings and were tagged for seventeen hits and twelve runs. Glavine gave up nine hits himself in what looked more like American League batting practice and less like an All-Star Game.

The American League struck for four more sixth-inning runs, changing a safe lead into an unreachable one. Ruben Sierra’s two-run homer capped the uprising and made it 10-0. Ken Griffey Jr., one of four American League hitters with two runs batted in, went three-for-three, He singled home a run in the first, homered in the third, triggered the sixth-inning outburst with a double. The National League only managed to score their first run after ten runs had already scored and by then, it did not really matter. Tom Glavine allowed a record number of hits during a single All-Star Game inning with seven [during the first] and a record number of hits during a game with nine after one and two-thirds. Ken Griffey Jr. was honored with the Most Valuable Player Award. The hit which was an infield single by American League pitcher Charles Nagy during the eight innings was the first by a junior circuit pitcher since Ken McBride singled during the 1962 All-Star Game. The American League won 13-6 against the National League.
