Although to the average fan it appeared as though A-Rod asked Ripken to change positions, in reality this was a "stunt" pre-arranged by Ripken with MLB in the know. I have a friend who works in MLB and she was aware of this before the game even started!

Hard to believe, but true.

Dave Parker throwing out two runners in the '79 All-Star game in the Kingdome. People forget that the "Cobra" had a cannon back in the day.

The other is Rod Carew hitting two triples in the '78 All-Star game. When he hit the first one the conditions on hitters were brutal because of the starting time and the game being on the West Coast. Showed what a great hitter he was.

I happened to be at the 2001 game and watching Ripken homer in person was awesome!! Definitely my favorite public moment. My absolute favorite All-Star moment was being smashed onto an elevator with the National Hooters Team just before the 2001 game. They had Sharpies in their...uh, hmm...shirts so I asked if they were signing. I was then mobbed and all of them signed the HR Derby shirt I was wearing from the previous day's event. It still hangs unwashed in the closet 7 years later.......

Bo Jackson's homer off of Rick Ruschel in the 1989 game.
Was it me, or did Bo look like a big kid in todder's clothes when he played?

Hated KC - Loved Bo.

Gary Carter's home runs in 1981 and 1984.

Parker's throws in 1979 are second on my list, absolutely amazing plays!

Ted Williams making his final appearance in Fenway at the 1999 All Star Game gave me goosebumps.

My favorite play that I can remember is I believe it was Torii Hunter robbing Barry Bonds of a home run by going part way over the fence.

Mine also would be the 1999 All Star Game at Fenway Park. Watching Ted Williams come out to the field was amazing as well as seeing the living "All Century Players" all one on field.
Pedro stricking out Larkin,Walker, Sousa and McGwire all in a row, was also a thrill. Fenway erupted after he struck out McGwire, the loudest I have ever heard it.

I had lower field box seats for that game and it was topped off by me sitting right next to Bruin legend Ray Bourque. What luck!
