Six Yankees made the American League All-Star team in 1948. For Joe DiMaggio, it was his 13th appearance. Yogi Berra was made his first.
Another Yankee appearing in his first All-Star Game in ‘48 was pitcher Vic Raschi. He would go on to make another three, and was named the AL’s starting pitcher in two of them. However, his most notable All-Star moment probably didn’t even come on the mound.
The National League scored two runs off AL starting pitcher Walt Masterson in the top of the first in the ‘48 All-Star Game. In the second and third innings, the AL got those two runs back, tying the game.
