When was the last time, if ever, that a player suffered a serious injury during the All Star game? And if so, how did that injury affect his team's second half of the season and playoff run?

I remember some horrendous injuries in the Oldtimers game. Glad they discontinued that one. One dude blew his knee out just running on the break, no contact, no jumping involved. :wow

I remember that. Wasn't it Connie Hawkins that tore his knee up the last time they played that game?

AIDS isn't an injury

I beg to differ. I think it's worse than blowing out a knee.

Dizzy Dean's career was effectively ended when a line drive broke his big toe in the 1937 major league all star game, then he wrecked his arm when he tried to come back too soon

But he didn't get it during the game, so technically it doesn't count since he already had it.

But yeah, it is pretty bad.

Nah, the date is right. I actually knew about Dizzy Dean but had forgotten.

That by far is the most famous A-S game injury because it killed a HoFer's career.

Naw, I'm not old enough to have caught any of Dean's playing career, but I do remember the adults talking about him breaking his toe

However, Dizzy Dean and PeeWee Reese are still my all time favorite broadcast team---nosing out Sean Elliott and his latest foil

Should I take you seriously? I mean while you may be technically correct that he has lost all signs of the HIV virus. It more likely means that they have become dormant and reside mainly in his spinal tissue. Having access to the drugs that he did; helped stave off an early death, and perhaps death from aids at all, but he still has it.

There is a difference between HIV and AIDS.

magic, 93, aids, and it screwed that laker team up for a long time
As several have already pointed out, Magic is HIV+, he doesn't have AIDS. This thead is also about All-Star games inuries, HIV is not in that category. Either know what you are talking about and contribute or STFU. You make mavfans around here look like bigger idiots.

Just to get it right. It was David Thompson, he of the running Nuggets who got the nickname Skywalker just because he could put a quarter on top of the backboard...or so legend says. I watched him play in the late 70's after the first of his knee injuries and at 6'3, dunking was still very, very easy for him.

Think back to that original ABA dunk contest, the one that Dr. J wins, 2nd place...David Thompson.

Cool thanks, good to see some ex-Dodgers getting paid. I don't remember it so it must have been awhile ago.

Late 50's--early 60's
That was the TV broadcasts--and at a time when there was MLB only on Saturday-one game on CBS and one on NBC
I don't know if PeeWee also did radio broadcasts
Any idea who the Dodger radio folks were back then?

Scully he's been in L.A. since the move. He announced 1 year in Brooklyn and then moved with the team out West. (Kind of like how Chick did it with the Lakers) Red Barber was there before Scully. Vin also used to do the game of the weak in the 80's. He works alone, but now he gets some innings off. Don Drysdale and Ross Porter used to also announce the games for years on his off innings.

Yeah he was with the Lakers for 1 year in Minneapolis, but he didn't start doing play-by-play till the first year in L.A. He was almost the announcer for the St. Louis Cardinals, but didn't get the job. So he ended up settling for the Lakers job.

Didn't Harry Carey get run out of St. Louis around that time for having sex with old man Busch's wife?

I don't know about that, but I wouldn't doubt it. Maybe somebody else knows. Either way that makes a pretty damn good story. :lol
