major leaguers played in the game. From Pawtucket: Seven Pawtucket players had already made their major league debuts, and were back in the minors at the time of the game, but would return to the major leagues: Chico Walker played 11 seasons in the majors between 1980 and 1993 with the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, California Angels, and New York Mets. Bob Ojeda, the winner of the game after pitching a scoreless 33rd inning, would pitch for 15 major league seasons (1980–1994), most notably for the Mets (going 18–5 in 1986 to help the team win the World Series that year), Red Sox, and Los Angeles Dodgers. While many of Pawtucket's players would play key roles in the 1986 World Series as members of the Red Sox, Ojeda would go on to play for their opponent, the Mets.

Marty Barrett played ten major league seasons (1982–1991) at second base for the Red Sox and Padres, hitting .278 for his career. Mike Smithson started 204 games for the Texas Rangers, Minnesota Twins, and Red Sox from 1982 to 1989. Roger LaFrancois appeared in eight games for the Red Sox in 1982.
