York County's own Vic Wertz blasted a solo home run off Sal "The Barber" Maglie during the 1951 mid-summer classic.
It wasn't enough, however, as the National League won 8-3.
Wertz played in three All-Star games and was selected for another. He went 2-for-7 with a home run and two runs driven in as a representative for the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers.
