Baseball's 39th All-Star Game.

It's traditional shaped by these men comes to the Houston Astronome today,

with the state of Texas adding something new to that tradition,

the first all-star game to be televised at night and the first

one played indoors.

From a first in Chicago in 1933, as the dream of the late Arch Ward, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune,

the Houston's palatial eighth wonder of the world,

the All-Star game has annually been the showcase of baseball's best,

with the starting lineup selected by the major leagers themselves.

And the league leads the series with 20 victory.

The American League is won 17 and there's been one time. Deep in the heart of Texas,

welcome to the 35th anniversary

mid-season baseball classic from Houston at the Astrodome.
