Among the promises were that by 1970, the workday would be reduced to six hours, and the USSR would surpass the United States in industrial and agricultural production.

The game - which also marked the third time that two All-Star Games had been played in the same season - was stopped in the 9th inning due to rain, with the score tied 1-1. Not until 2002 would another MLB All-Star Game end in a tie [wiki]There were two All-Star Games played each season from 1959 through 1962. The second game was added to raise money for the MLB players' pension funds, as well as other causes. The experiment was later abandoned on the grounds that having two games watered down the appeal of the event."
