What happened in the last All-Star Game in Philadelphia?
Tonight will be Philadelphia's fifth time hosting the All-Star Game and the first since July 9, 1996.
Four of the previous five All-Star Games in Philadelphia have been hosted by the Phillies, while the Philadelphia Athletics hosted one in 1943.
In the last All-Star Game in 1996 at Veterans Stadium in South Philly, the NL defeated the AL 6-0 as Norristown native Mike Piazza went 2-for-3 with a home run and won MVP honors.
The game was also Ozzie Smith's last All-Star Game and his 15th appearance. The fans at the Vet gave Smith a standing ovation.
While the Philadelphia crowd gave Smith his flowers for a remarkable Hall of Fame career, they made sure to boo another player.
During player introductions, the crowd at Veterans Stadium gave Toronto Blue Jays' Joe Carter a Philadelphia welcome — they booed him.
Carter, who hit a walk-off home run to beat the Phillies in the 1993 World Series, embraced the booes and smiled, tipping his hat to the crowd.
