A day that began for All-Stars with a snail’s-paced parade down 6th Avenue under the blistering 1 p.m. sun finally ended more than 12 hours later, the calendar having turned to Wednesday and the National League still winless in Midsummer Classics since 1996.
The American League won the All-Star game, 4-3, in 15 innings in front of a sellout crowd of 55,632 at soon-to-be-razed Yankee Stadium when Justin Morneau scored just ahead of right fielder Corey Hart’s throw on Michael Young’s sacrifice fly. At four hours, 50 minutes, it was the longest All-Star game by more than an hour and the number of innings equaled the previous high, set in 1967.
