What happened in the last All-Star Game in Philadelphia?<\/p>\n

Tonight will be Philadelphia’s fifth time hosting the All-Star Game and the first since July 9, 1996.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Four of the previous five All-Star Games in Philadelphia have been hosted by the Phillies, while the Philadelphia Athletics hosted one in 1943.<\/p>\n

In the last All-Star Game in 1996 at Veterans Stadium in South Philly, the NL defeated the AL 6-0 as Norristown native Mike Piazza went 2-for-3 with a home run and won MVP honors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Dodgers’ Mike Piazza accepts the Most Valuable Player trophy he won in leading the National League to a 6-0 victory over the American League in the 67th All-Star Game July 9, 1996, in Philadelphia. Piazza had a home run and a double, along with two runs batted in, in three at-bats.<\/p>\n

The game was also Ozzie Smith’s last All-Star Game and his 15th appearance. The fans at the Vet gave Smith a standing ovation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the Philadelphia crowd gave Smith his flowers for a remarkable Hall of Fame career, they made sure to boo another player.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During player introductions, the crowd at Veterans Stadium gave Toronto Blue Jays’ Joe Carter a Philadelphia welcome \u2014 they booed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carter, who hit a walk-off home run to beat the Phillies in the 1993 World Series, embraced the booes and smiled, tipping his hat to the crowd.<\/p>\n
