The past few years, I’ve taken a look at the Phillies’ representatives in the All-Star Game and analyzed whether or not they’ll have a chance to end the “Curse of Johnny Callison” and be the first Phillie to capture the game’s MVP award since Callison earned the honors in 1964.
u2b50ufe0fASG NUGGET: Johnny Callison’s 3-run home run in B9 gives the NL a dramatic 7-4 All-Star Game win in Shea Stadium OTD in 1964. It is the first ASG homer by a Phillie. Callison named MVP, only such honor in Phillies ASG history.
