Revisiting the 1996 MLB All-Star Game in Philadelphia

On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball’s All-Stars will gather in San Diego, California to showcase the sport with the annual All-Star Game. This 2016 version also marks twenty years since the game was hosted in Philadelphia. There is a major leaguer (Julio Urias, Dodgers) that have made his debut this season that were not yet born when the Phillies last played host. With the 20 year anniversary upon us, it seems like the proper time to revisit that Tuesday night in July 1996.

With Veterans Stadium providing the backdrop, the stars of Major League Baseball put on a show.
