The 2025 All-Star festivities are behind us now after the two-day showcase was capped off in the most exciting way possible. After the American League came back to tie things at 6-6 in the top of the ninth, the home run derby-style extra innings format got broken out to decide this one, with the National Coming out on top.
The format saw each league got nine combined swings split evenly between three players with the league hitting the most home runs breaking the tie and taking home the win.
Other than Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber going 3-for-3 what can only be described as an absolute masterclass of sheer power, the biggest conversation point about the impromptu derby seemed to be who was selected to fill each three spots, or to put it better, who wasn't selected.
