- The MLB All-Star Game once ended with resounding, deafening boos from the crowd as the fans exited the stadium in disgust. How did this happen and how did it wind up changing the game forever?

Miss when they would wear they own jerseys in the ASG.
Same here.
I miss when they did that In the NBA too
Absolutely. It was a sight to behold.
Until they switch back, I refuse to watch!
I was just about to type the same thing and found this was the top comment!
If you didn’t know who Tori Hunter was before he robbed Barry you just didn’t watch enough baseball
As a Twins fan, I agree with this statement.
@@rotmusic8505 lml I’m not even a twins fan but I remember him facing Boston and thinking man I want that guy on the team
To be fair it was his firsr all star game and if you werent a web gem/ SC highlights guy it probably was. I mean who didnt love watching him and Gary Matthews Jr. Putting on a show each night.
@@AboveReplacement for me I was a kid in little league so I watched every single Red Sox game I could so I knew who we were playing who the best players on each team were all of it Tori Hunter was a problem
Wasn't this around the time MLB wanted to contract both the Twins and the Expos?
I remember in last years all-star game, they said if it was a tie after 9 innings, they would play a home run derby to see who would win. Sounds pretty ridiculous at first but it’s better than ending in a tie
It doesn't sound any crazier than a shootout in hockey, good idea
@@estellegrignon Hockey should do what they do in the playoffs. Just play overtime until someone scores. I don’t like shootouts at all
@DaVictonator probably too strenuous during the middle of an 82 game season, imagine the injury reports
It is an exhibition game. There is nothing wrong with a tie.
@@rpriske It’s the all-star game people want to see a good game, also it’s baseball the game shouldn’t end unless someone wins
It would have been cool if they let the position players pitch. Like imagine watching Barry bonds strike out the side then hit a 450 ft bomb.
Barry Ohtani
Could tell by the title exactly what this was about. Great video topic that I’ve never seen anyone talk about except my father many years ago.
I worked that day as an usher there
Also worth mentioning that before the game they announced in a ceremony that they would be naming the All-Star game MVP award after Ted Williams who’d just died. Then to not award anyone the MVP and just slink off into the night was soooo insulting to fans. I remember watching and thinking “well at least they’ll have fun with this right? They’ll have dual MVP’s right?” And then nothing. What an ultimate slap in the face to fans and viewers.
I will say, Freddy DID bend him up with that deuce to end the game lol.
Torii was one of my favorite Twins growing up. Brad Radke and Johann Santana were also up there for me!
Same for me! Wish Tori could have stayed his whole career in Minnesota.
Torii Hunter and Jim Edmonds...sources of some of the best SportsCenter highlights of all time.
Insane that if the home field rule had been changed just 1 year prior in 2016, then the Cubs would have won the 2016 World Series with a walkoff in extra innings at Wrigley Field, and it would have made the greatest baseball game ever played that much more legendary
No rain delay the cubs don’t win it, so it was what it was
I remember watching this All Star Game. I had no problem with it ending in a tie. It was an exciting exhibition. One of the most memorable games. However, Bud Selig overreacted by making the league who wins the ASG gets home field advantage. It really wasn’t that serious and showed he knows nothing about baseball.
It was serious before the 90s.
Funny this popped up cuz I'm literally looking out a window at this stadium right now
I wish they would go back to wearing the jerseys from their team instead of nl/Al jerseys
It would be hella shady, even for an exhibition game, but I feel like they could’ve just called the pitchers over and told ‘em to huck some meatballs down the middle 😂
“Hey freddie, throw a cookie so we don’t all have to get our asses chewed for years for this”
They need to go back to wearing their own uniforms 💯💯
Sounds like my entire lineup in Triple Play 2002
I did think it was strange that THIS All-Star Game would end but 2008 (mentioned in the video) I remember going to sleep after 13 innings.
I worked as an usher that year at Miller Park and it was fun but so hot. At the end I had a beer bottle wiz past my head they were so pissed. I had a great time all 3 days. We had a huge thunderstorm during the derby and there was a waterfall b first base. I saw the Torii Hunter robbery I was there and saw it. There was a cool Japanese camera man there for that and he was so excited to get that
I remember watching this and being mad wasn't there an almost strike this season as well looming that already has fans mad
Wow, I knew for a while there the ASG deteremined WS home field advantage but I didn't know it was all the way until 2016.
2003-2016 that's a long time for a stupid rule. Best regular season record makes much more sense.
True, but before 2003 home advantage was just switched back and forth between NL and AL every season.
It wasn’t like they took home field advantage away from the better regular season team…home field advantage was decided before the season even started.
I remember this game. It was the last time I watched an All Star game.
Just remembered the card-and-dice game MLB Showdown released a special 2002 All-Star Game edition, so you could play it out and have a winner. I think I still have mine somewhere.
That game was so much fun. I bought the ASG collectors box the day it came out. Wish I still had it.
Great EmpLemon quote
Definitely glad they changed the rule back, as a Rangers fan who watched the butterfly effect video about this exact thing
1:34 Shuma Gorah's theme from Marvel Superheroes, nice
3:52 Banjo and Kazooie, game show theme
TORII FN HUNTER!
Carl Hubble could have won it for the National League.
as i was told by the video man "literally anything"
Only thing crazier about this game was Shea Hillenbrand being in it.
If I’m the AL pitcher in the 11th, I’d just be asking the batter what they want then throwing it right down the middle
I was thinking about this gsme tonight when they were giving Jared durian the ted Williams memorial trophy. It was named that in 2002 right after he died...and this was the first time it would be awarded...but of course it wssnt 😢
taking this time to say...
a great defensive play (like robbing a home run or throwing someone out at the plate from the outfield) > a home run. anyone can hit a homerun. not anyone can make a spectacular catch or throw someone out at the plate from the wall.
Besides players going back to wearing their team uniforms they should also drop the MVP of the game award.
Speaking of 2017's best record, which it should have been for the past 100+ years of baseball, it's not like a team would have POSSIBLY cheated at their home stadium during that World Series, yet had to play game 7 on the road, in the other team's stadium, giving that other team some crazy idea that their pitcher didn't meltdown during the most important game of their lives didn't really matter or something.
Look, I'm not saying the Astros didn't cheat, but to pretend the Dodgers didn't choke away 3 games in that series (Games 2, 5 and 7) wasn't something ether.
Anyway, back to the point at hand, I was fine with a tie since it was an exhibition game. But on that matter, baseball is a game where there's no real time limit. Everyone plays until someone leads the other team after 9 innings or, in the case there's a tie after that, until someone leads at the end of each subsequent inning. If the managers are willing to not put themselves in a position to win a game, then fans have every right to be upset on both sides. So in this case, like you said, unlike the NFL, people are going to get upset if not angry. Plus, because of the All-Star game having a break for it, the next day everyone in Major Leauge Baseball has a day off. I get you can't bring in someone who's likely pitched more than they normally would, but it's kind of annoying that people want to see the best, and in 2002, we didn't get that.
Final point, how is Bud Selig in the Hall of Fame and people like Bonds and Clemens aren't? Bud let the steroid era happen under his watch and didn't lift a finger to stop it until way too late. The only good things I can think of Bud doing is having the Wild Card put into action and retiring Jackie Roberston's 42 MLB wide. Otherwise, he nearly contracted the league and forced a work stoppage during the 1994 season (sorry Expos fans).
Ok, rant over.
"The Night the MLB All-Star Game Changed For A Short Period" would be more accurate ;)
Nice vid man! Really enjoyed that!
Good ol green Simpson guy makes a surprise appearance, I click like.
I think what they should have done is change the rules regarding for substitutions for just the all-star game and allow players who have come out to be able to come back in again. I mean the all-start game after all, is an exhibition and shouldn't be held to the same strict rules as regular season games.
Actually by the same logic of it being an exhibition, they could've just let it end in a tie. Again, it is just an exhibition game.
The All-Star game when I was a kid was a holiday to me!!! I looked as forward to it every year as much as my birthday or Christmas. I've always liked making lists of fantasy dream teams for the MLB, NFL, and pro wrestling. I started watching sports in 1974, and the All-Star game was like my list came to life. Not only the great players, but seeing stars from every team in their uniform! Remember that back then, we got TWO games (Saturday afternoon Game of the Week, and Monday Night Baseball) a week to watch for the most part.
Taking away the different teams uniform imho is just another way to try and sell you something else.
LET THEM WEAR THEIR TEAM JERSEYS!!!!!!!!!!
SRS got bgm from Marvel Super Heroes in this video. Bro knows what's up.
Bring back own team jerseys (or design asg jerseys more unique to each team, like maybe the yankees in navy pinstripes on a grey background in an NL park)
Yeah they definitely could've planned for that ahead of time. I feel like most fans would've understood a limit on extra innings for the ASG if the MLB didn't just make it up in the middle of the 11th
0:23 - unless is soccer, then you want to spend 2 hours for 0:0 tie...
already knew EXACTLY what this video was about. to say my baseball household was disappointed is an understatement.
9:02 At least he does that, unlike Manfraud
Hearing Emps voice took me for a shock lol
When the leagues claim 'its just an exhibition ltheir saying theirs no difference between the all star game and the redsox playing boston college in late february....despite all the hoopla the league puts behind the game and the fan intrest in it...
I remember the media shitstorm that took place after this.
I think I'd rather have ties after the 11th inning every game than deal with the current extra innings rule. At some point we're going to have a postponed All-Star Game due to weather (not this year at a dome though) and how to handle it will be a big problem again.
I always thought they should have allowed the subbed players to come back in rather than calling a tie. Though in retrospect maybe that’s hard on pitchers.
NPB declares a tie after 12 innings; even in the postseason.
I feel like if it was just for the fans at that point and it didn’t mean anything, why not throw a position player on the mound 🤷🏼♂️
With the runner on 2nd to start extras, ties happen less often.
And apparently, there’s a rule now in the All-Star game where if it goes long enough in extras, they go to an ad-hoc Home-Run derby to decide a winner.
As a Rangers fan, I try not to think about how we likely would’ve won the WS in 2011 had the NL just walked it off in ‘02
i love the succession theme song in the background
Can’t wait till it’s back in Milwaukee
They should have let position players pitch. That is always fun to watch, and in an all star game? C'mon that would be legendary
You know it really hurt bud doing this since it was in his hometown hosted by a team he brought to Milwaukee and is most likely the last All-Star game to happen there
Don’t they use the ghost runner rule for the ASG? That’s probs the only time I’m ok with that rule since it’ll make it a lot more unlikely that a game ends in a tie
Knew this was gonna be a good video when the first thing i see is the play- GO BEARS!
Where baseball has changed is the teams discontent of live fans in favor of merchandise sales and royalties.
Literally anything
This was the last time i watched an all star game. I know they made it so the all star game mattered because of this, but this ruined it for me. I still watch the homerun derby though.
Great video bro I remember this vividly
Bud Selig really was one of the worst commissioner in MLB history
Sammy Sosa the only player in history to have 62 plus HR's in 3 seasons
and to lead the league in none of those 3 seasons...
Love the emplemon intro
If the game is still tied after ten innings, they should end it. Like the managers said, players -- and especially pitchers -- run the risk of getting worn down or injured if the game goes on and on and on. Before lighted stadiums, games ended in a tie when it got too dark to play, and the world didn't end.
as a brewers fan, i approve this video
Literally anything
Literally anything I want
2016 all star game was supposed to be in Baltimore
Wild how even a channel based on sports says Roy “Holliday”
Baseball owes it to milwaukee to have another ASG here
Why not have the position players pitch? Or bring out a pitcher who was already taken out just for this game?
How was Benetio Santiago an allstar in 2002.
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
And THAT'S how 14 years became "forever"
I had no idea they changed it back (removing WS home team)... huh...
What’s a topic on a Yogurt Bowl? Or did he say “topping?”
If I recall, the CBA was set to expire during the 2002 MLB season as well and having the All-Star Game end in a tie wasn't doing any favours for the fans. (Yes I'm Canadian and I like adding the letter 'U' to words where it shouldn't belong) Adding more insult is hearing Bud Selig being 'BOOO-ed' in his hometown. That's in the same echelon as Nickelback being despised in their home province of Alberta.
Fun fact that road padre uniform that will myers wore didn’t even exist. They made that just for him specifically for that all star game
10:46
That was why it should have been concluded. It could have been with trash and other things thrown on the field.
I didn't realize it at the time... but this was one of the final nails in their coffin for me.
It's actually quite silly to think teams win or lose based on the order they play their home games at. Some teams have better records on the road. Should bring back the rule. I have fond memories of the 2008 all star game ending at 1 am.
What a massive overreaction by everyone who was chanting "let them play". You went to an All-Star game. You saw ALL the All-Stars. You got EXTRA baseball. Let WHO play? There was nobody left, you idiots!
They can't just have an impropmtu home run derby in the 10th, and the team with the most homers wins?
Anything
Burger King foot lettuce
The steroid sword is dull as fck! I don't care about that BORING nonsense! Great video! Thank you-Cheers!
Its been almost 20 years and people still hate sosa😂
why not have position players pitch?
The ASG was rendered useless with interleague play...
Literally anything in the comments
So lets say an American League team wins 105 games, the National league team wins 88 games but the National league team gets home field in the WS because some pitcher from the worst team in the AL, say the A's has to be on the roster and gives up the game winning HR. This was so stupid.
IMO I don’t think it wasn’t Selig’s fault. The managers shouldn’t have blown through their players that fast. 🙄
but the idea of an allstar game is to show-off your all stars. not to win the game.
@@dumdawgpro Like the former even mattered.
Ahh back when you had to win in extra and werent handed a man in scoring position...
Ma ma ma ma Mitchell
I was one of the ones booing when the late Bob Betts made the announcement in the bottom of the 11th.
I always say that I'm still waiting for the 12th Inning to start.
I liked when the game mattered.
It is an exhibition game. There is nothing wrong with it ending in a tie.
