Fred Lynn’s All-Star Game grand slam

One of the greatest Angels moments in All-Star Game history happened on this date in 1983, when Fred Lynn hit the only grand slam in the history of the midsummer classic.

Lynn was in his third season with the Angels, and hitting .259/.373/.500 with 14 home runs at the break. This was his ninth All-Star appearance, and sixth time as a starter in center field. Lynn was one of two Angels in the American League starting lineup, along with fellow former MVP Rod Carew at first base. Reggie Jackson, Doug DeCinces, and Bob Boone were also All-Stars that year for the Angels.
