In the 1989 All-Star Game, Bo Jackson awed the baseball world with his towering 448 foot home run to lead off the bottom of the first. Wade Boggs followed with his own solo shot. This would be the first time the top two batters in the lineup had opened an All Star Game up with back-to-back home runs. The pitcher was Rick Reuschel of the Giants. Angel Jimmie Reese threw out the first pitch, Chuck Finley made his first ASG, and Nolan Ryan was the winning pitcher, but wearing a Texas Rangers uniform. The American League won 5-3 and Bo took home the MVP.
