NOTE: There were two All-Star Games played in 1959. It is theoretically possible to duplicate this in OOTP. This can be done by editing the schedule file, adding in both All-Star Games on the appropriate dates, and using the proper Team ID numbers for each All-Star team. In 1959, the NL was the home team for both games. The entry for the first game would be on July 7, which is day 188. The line would be (excluding the quotes) "188,17,18,1". The second game goes on Aug. 3, which is day 215, and the line would be "215,17,18,7". The only caveat with adding the All-Star Games into the schedule file is that it may cause problems in OOTP when those days come up. The normal recommendation is to delete any All-Star Game listed in a schedule file and instead add in the All-Star Game manually via the schedule editor in OOTP.
So, dual All-Star Games may or may not work. Feel free to test it out, and post your results.
