MLB All-Star Game weather

Tonight is baseball's All-Star game in New York.

The temperature at 5:00 PM was 93 with a dew point of 62. So at least it is not too humid.
Temperatures will be in the 80's for the game this evening with no rain expected.

1966 All Star game in St. Louis
The hottest All-Star game ever was played in St. Louis.  This was back in the days when the game was played during the afternoon and not in prime time.
The temperature at the start of the game was 105 and rose to 107 during the game.
There were rolling blackouts in St. Louis with many areas outside of the stadium area losing power that afternoon.
Hundreds of spectators at the game were treated for heat issues.
The game ended up going long..... 10 innings.

Reds fans..... see if any of these names sound familiar.
