For the 3rd and final time Tiger Stadium hosted the All-Star Game. The Game would be forever remember for Reggie Jackson of the Oakland A's majestic HR off the RF Light tower, as the AL broke a 8-game All Star Losing streak with a 6-4 win. The American League will not win another All-Star Game for 12 years. However, win were not as scarce for the Tigers as the team finished in 2nd Place with a 91-71 record.
