July 25, 1972 Atlanta, Ga
Atlanta Stadium
National League defeated the American League 4-3
Winning pitcher: Tug McGraw (New York Mets) -- Losing pitcher: Dave McNally (Baltimore Orioles)
Home Runs: Cookie Rojas (KC Royals) Hank Aaron (Atlanta Braves)
Cincinnati Reds' Joe Morgan was named Most Valuable Player
This was the 5th All-Star game to reach extra innings, going into the 10th.
This was the 3rd game hosted by the Braves (1936 Boston and 1955 Milwaukee) but the first to be played in Atlanta. This would be the only All-Star game played in Atlanta Stadium, as the Braves would move to Turner Field in 1997
This was Roberto Clemente's final All-Star game appearance
