On July 11, 1989, Anaheim Stadium hosted the second of its three All-Star Games to date (the others in 1967 and 2010).
While perhaps the most memorable moment came in the first American League at-bat – when Kansas City’s Bo Jackson (pictured, center) hit a towering home run to straightaway center – there were quite a few unique events in the last 1980s edition of the Midsummer Classic.
Mick Gillispie told the story of the day – a 5-3 win for the American League – during the sixth inning of Tennessee’s game with the Jacksonville Suns.
