The game was held on July 13, 1948, at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis, Missouri, the home of both the St. Louis Browns of the American League (who were the designated host team) and the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League. The game resulted in the American League defeating the National League 5–2. This was the first All-Star Game to be broadcast on television, albeit only locally. Richie Ashburn became only the third rookie player in MLB history to start in an All-Star Game after Joe DiMaggio, (1939) and Dick Wakefield, (1943).https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45700984/which-rookies-started-mlb-all-star-games-all-list Which rookies started in MLB All-Star Games?
