Good afternoon, baseball fans. This is John McLean with Lindsey Nelson,

welcoming you to the District of Columbia Stadium in Washington, D.C.,

and the first all-star baseball game.

Brought to you by the Gillette Safety Razor Company,

maker of the new Gillette's adjustable razor.

Remarkable super blue blades that give all but unbelievable shaving comfort. Only, the

cream of all instant left. And right guard the new power spray deodorant for men.

And by Chrysler Corporation and its all-star lineup. Plymouth, Valiant, Chrysler, Imperial, Dodd, Darts, Lancers, and Dodd trucks.

The action cars for 1962 from Chrysler Corporation.

The capacity crowd at Beautiful D.C. Stadium in Washington is awaiting the arrival of President John F. Kennedy.

Here in Washington today, the nation's capital, you couldn't ask for a finer day for this first

All-Star game of 1962. The temperature at noon, a little over 45 minutes ago, was a comfortable 78 degrees.

There isn't a cloud in the sky.

There's a little bit of a refreshing breeze blowing from the right field corner short home place.

But the fans at D.C. Stadium are so high that not too much air gets down onto the field of play.

So, with the temperature at 70 degrees, the wind is west-northwest, nine miles per hour,

and the humidity is a very comfortable 41%.

The capacity straw, which has been a cell-out for weeks, and will reach 45,015, the official listed capacity seating of DC Stadium.

All standing now, as we said, awaiting the arrival of President Kennedy.

In the meantime, the two squads are being introduced

over the public address system.

That is the voice you hear in the background.
