There were two All-Star Games played each season from 1959 to 1962. The second game was added to raise money for the players' pension funds, as well as other causes. The experiment was abandoned on the grounds that having two games watered down the appeal of the event.
1959-a National 5-4 Forbes Field, Pittsburgh Pirates Johnny Antonelli, San Francisco (NL) Whitey Ford, New York (AL)
1959-b American 5-3 Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles Dodgers Jerry Walker, Baltimore (AL) Don Drysdale, Los Angeles (NL)

There were 2 games in 1961. One was a 1-1 tie at Fenway Park. The other was in San Francisco but I'm not sure who won.

1959-62. It was in an effort to generate more revenue for the players union pension fund.
Rosters were not the same for each game each year.
