Fred T. Jane Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 1973 (the year it was implemented), since the ASG was held at Kauffman Stadium, and AL Park? [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques.

HedleyLamarr Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 That was in an Interleague Game It was some where in the middle Tony Gwynn became the first National League DH in an All-Star game (1997)Not saying it's right, but as I said, that's what Wikipedia says. Of course, you could always edit it to make it right! Tony Gwynn wasn't the first NL DH in Interleague play, either. Since San Francisco-Texas was the first Interleague League game, the Giants' GlenAllen Hill was the first non-World Series NL DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
