8. 2008 All-Star Game

Another classic from the 00’s, the 2008 All-Star Game was played at the old Yankee Stadium in the final year at the House that Ruth Built. Making it a special event before the first pitch was even thrown given the significance of Yankee Stadium the history of baseball.

Helping close out Yankee Stadium in its final season, a marathon game would take place enforcing the benefit of the homefield advantage rule, as just a few years after the controversial tie game in 2002 a 15-inning game would bring the All-Star game back to its reputation for providing classic summer moments.

After a double from Evan Longoria tied the game in the bottom of the eighth for the AL, the game would really pick up in terms of intensity as the two teams would fail to cash in runners in scoring position on multiple occasions to stretch the game out into an endurance affair.

Eventually, it would be the American League that would find the breakthrough hit with a runner in scoring position, as in the bottom of the 15th, Michael Young would come through in the clutch for a sacrifice fly that would end the final All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium with the AL earning homefield advantage in the World Series, ending a classic game that was made even more memorable due to the moment of it being played in the final season at the original Yankee Stadium.
