#39 – July 11, 1967 MLB All-Star Game in Anaheim Stadium NL beats AL 2-1.

The first All-Star game hosted by Anaheim Stadium was a memorable one. 46,309 fans watched the three hour and forty-one minute 15-inning affair that saw 17 future MLB Hall of Famers play in the contest.

Such names Roberto Celmente, Hank Aaron, Orlando Cepeda, Tony Perez, Pete Rose, Don Drysdale, and Tom Seaver played for the NL with Drysdale getting the victory and Seaver getting the save. On the American League side saw Brooks Robinson, Rod Carew, Harmon Killebrew, Carl Yastrzemski, Mickey Mantle, and Catfish Hunter with Hunter taking the loss.

In the contest Dick Allen got the offense started with a home run in the second inning. Brooks Robinson tied the game with a sixth inning blast. For the next eight innings no one would score as both sides combined for an All-Star record 30 strikeouts (17 by NL pitchers and 13 by AL Pitchers).

In the top of the 15th inning Tony Perez broke through launching a home run to left-center off of Catfish Hunter to give the National League a 2-1 lead and Tom Seaver pitched a perfect bottom of the 15th to end the longest All-Star game in MLB History (innings).
