The “Midsummer Classic” returned to Yankee Stadium in 2008 for the fourth and final time, which hosted the *All-Star* Games in 1939, 1960 and 1977. The American League entered this ASG on an 11-game unbeaten streak (10–0–1) as the NL continued to look for their first win since 1996. This would turn-out to be longest All-Star Game in MLB history (4-hours and 50-minutes), and it also tied the mark for the longest game by innings (15) with the 1967 *All-Star* Game.
