This was the infamous All-Star tie that incited a ridiculous overreaction of “This Time it Counts” and a brief three-year period where the game was managed differently. Of course I’m obligated to point out Barry Bonds’ two-run homer in the third, after being robbed on the warning track by Torii Hunter in the first. The AL trailed 5-2 entering the seventh, but scored four to take the lead before the NL took it back in the bottom of the frame. Omar Vizquel’s eighth inning triple tied it up at seven, and from that point forward there was no further scoring, and after eleven innings it was decided that Freddy Garcia and Vicente Padilla not be hung out to dry. Bud Selig had quite a coup on his hands at his Milwaukee All-Star game.
