During the Cubs game on Sunday afternoon—the one where Jon Lester gave up 10 runs in the first inning—my brother and I started to play a game to pass the time. With the All-Star Game coming up, we tried to think of every memory we had of a specific event from All-Star Game history in our lifetime. Neither one of us could remember that many, but I did win the contest. So, here's every moment from an All-Star Game that I can remember.

Think you know more about baseball than us? You probably do. But go ahead and prove it anyway.
