Some quick #AllStarGame history: My story on the only time two Black pitchers went head-to-head in an All-Star Game, when Dock Ellis faced off against Vida Blue, in 1971. The AL won 6-4, breaking an eight-game losing streak @rickklein @JeremySchaap contrarian.substack.com/p/the-mlb-all-…
The day of May 25, 2005 is definitely the winner for starting 9 (3305 career HR's) - the irony is that none of them hit a HR that day LOL
This is sensational storytelling by the great @JeremySchaap & the ultra-talented @MikeFarrellESPN, who directed and edited this amazing film. Shoutout to a ton of talented people in credits, inc Willie W. Jim Abbott is such an emotional & inspirational figure. Outstanding. 🥃

I think I have confirmed @RagedHaveLomo suspicion that the 1995 Cleveland team had the starting lineup with the most career HR. On six occasions that year, they rolled out a lineup that would eventually hit 2,968 major league HR. 1/2 CC: @JeremySchaap @readjack @AtomK13 @JC_Esq
