The1982 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 53rd midseason exhibition between theall-stars of theAmerican League (AL) and theNational League (NL), the two leagues comprisingMajor League Baseball. The game was played on July 13, 1982, atOlympic Stadium inMontreal,Quebec,Canada, home of theMontreal Expos of the National League. The game resulted in a 4–1 victory for the NL, andCincinnati Reds shortstopDave Concepción was named the MVP.
It is notable for being the first All-Star Game ever played outside the United States. This would be the only All-Star Game to be played in Montréal, as the Expos would leave in 2005 to become theWashington Nationals before having an opportunity to host another. Four members of the Expos were voted into the starting lineup. The flyover at the conclusion of the National Anthems was done for the first time by a national air squadron other than those from theUnited States Air Force orAir National Guard as theSnowbirds from theCanadian Forces Air Command flew over Olympic Stadium, marking the first of their two All-Star appearances; they would perform the flyover for the1991 Major League Baseball All-Star Game inToronto nine years later. It is also the last All-Star Game in which the manager of the runner-up for any league pennant managed in place of the manager of the defending league champions due to the latter's unemployment;Billy Martin of theOakland Athletics managed in place ofBob Lemon, who had been fired by theNew York Yankees, Martin's former team.
Players initalics have since been inducted into theNational Baseball Hall of Fame.
