The second 1962 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 33rd playing of Major League Baseball's annual midsummer exhibition game. The game took place atWrigley Field inChicago ,Illinois , home of the National League'sChicago Cubs . The American League emerged triumphant as they finally broke out of a five game slump with nine runs. The nine runs equaled their total for the previous five games. The AL also racked ten hits. Their victory kept the National League from tying the All-Star series at 16-16.
