The 1967 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 38th midseason exhibition between the all-stars of the American League (AL) and the National League (NL), the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball. The game was played on July 11, 1967, at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, California. The game resulted in a 2–1 victory for the NL. At 15 innings, it was the longest All-Star Game by innings ever. It held this distinction by itself until 2008, when that year's game was also decided in 15 innings.
