1923 – Lefty O’Doll, competing with the Boston Red Sox, allows a 13th inning in the sixth inning for the Cleveland Indians, who win 27-3. In 1928, he was set to return to the majors as a great hitter.

1959 – At Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, the first two All-Star games I played that season go to NL, 5-4. The Eredivisie scored a tie and win at the bottom of the eighth place when Hank Aaron scored on tour and scored a hat-trick by Willie Maes.
1964 – NL defeats AL 7-4 in an All-Star Game over Johnny Callison’s two-man team and three runs off Dick Raditz in the bottom of the ninth inning at Shea Stadium in New York. The win pulled NL up with rivals (17-17-1) for the first time since the series began.
1998 – Coors Field lives up to its billing as a hitter as the MLS beat the Nationals 13-8 at Coors Field in the highest-scoring All-Star Game in Major League history. The 21 races broke the AL 11-9 win record set in 1954.

2011 – Dustin Pedroia hits a three-round shot and Boston adds three straight games in the seventh inning in a 10-4 win over Baltimore. He hosted six different players from Boston, including the three in a row from David Ortiz, Josh Riddick and Jarrod Saltallamachia.
