The game was held on July 10, 1990, at Wrigley Field in Chicago, the home of the Chicago Cubs of the National League. The game resulted in the American League defeating the National League 2–0. The game is remembered for a rain delay in the 7th inning that resulted in CBS airing Rescue 911 during the delay. This is also the first game (and, so far, the only one) to feature two players bearing the same name: Gregg Olson was a pitcher, representing the AL squad and Baltimore Orioles, while catcher Greg Olson represented the NL squad and Atlanta Braves. Outfielder Jose Canseco of the Oakland Athletics and Second Baseman Ryne Sandberg of the Chicago Cubs were the leaders of their leagues in the fan votes. The pregame ceremonies celebrated the 85th anniversary of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station which, as with previous All-Star Games held in Chicago, provided the colors presentation. After Wayne Messmer sang O Canada, recording artist (and native Chicagoan) Richard Marx sang The Star-Spangled Banner. The last All-Star Game previously held at Wrigley Field was represented by Ernie Banks who threw out the ceremonial first pitch. The National League registered just two hits in the contest, the fewest by any team in the history of the All-Star Game.https://stathead.com/tiny/Dzez0 Team Batting Game Finder: In years 1933 to 2019, In the All-Star Game, (requiring H<=3), sorted by smallest H Stathead July 16, 2020 As of 2024, this is the most recent occasion on which the Cubs and Wrigley Field have hosted the All-Star Game.
