Below are the rosters for the 1889 MLB All-Star Game at Sportsman’s Park in St. Louis. The Home Run Challenge went to Cleveland’s Bob Petitt, who won the final round 12-11 over 1887 winner Jimmy Ryan of Louisville.

Amazingly, the American League has now gone a perfect 6-6 against the National League so far in All-Star Game history. 1889 was an even match with a 3-2 final score. Detroit’s Duke Farrell was the game’s MVP, as he had the go-ahead solo homer to lead off the ninth for the AL. The 1888 Home Run Derby winner Farrell also had a solo homer in the fourth inning.
