Major League Baseball All-Star Game Pan of stadium. Woman wearing straw sun hat with ribbon that reads 1962 All-Star Game. Pan Washington's $24,000,000 stadium is jammed to capacity and among the crowd of 46,000 is President Kennedy who throws out the first pitch. Side view of woman wearing straw hat with 1962 All Star Game written on scarf. President Kennedy shown throwing out first pitch, from his seat. GV of baseball diamond with players. They all see the national league all-stars take the measure of the American league. Stan (the man!) Musical pinch-hits a single that means the first run, Maury Wills runs wild on the bases (steals 2nd base) and Willie Mays makes some spectacular catches: it all adds up to a National League 3-1 win! Several CUs of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) enjoying the game, seen wearing sunglasses, smiling, clapping and eating peanuts? Good shot of baseball player running and sliding into home plate. Good shot of crowd /audience which includes African-American (black) and white spectators. Umpire calls safe.
